Now is the solstice of the year
Winter is the glad song that you hear
Seven maids move in seven time
Have the lads up ready in a line
Ring out these bells
Ring out, ring solstice bells
Ring solstice bells
Join together 'neath the mistletoe,
By the holy oak whereon it grows
Seven druids dance in seven time
Sing the song the bells call, loudly chiming
Ring out these bells
Ring out, ring solstice bells
Ring solstice bells
Ring out, ring out the solstice bells
Ring out, ring out the solstice bells
Praise be to the distant sister sun,
Joyful as the silver planets run
Seven maids move in seven time
Sing the song the bells call, loudly chiming
Ring out these bells
Ring out, ring solstice bells
Ring solstice bells
Ring on, ring out
Ring on, ring out
Ring on, ring out
Ring on, ring out
This is my favorite xmas song? To all you southerners- who never tried to get home in new England... it's called a white nuckle drive. and this one is mild.
I LUV that song! It was the first song I learned to play! At 5? On an old magnus organ...
Back in the day? We played it - by number.. I was a spoiled kid? 5-6-5 3? I made a mistake? I swore- and used the f word.. and dad gave me a slap ... don't you talk like that young lady? thanks for bringing up funny memories?
