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 line.
Chorus Ring out those bells
Ring out, ring Solstice Bells.
Ring, Solstice Bells.
Join together 'neath the Mistle-toe.
By the Holy oak where-on it grows.
Seven Druids dance in seven time
Sing the song the Bells call, loudly chimming.
Chorus
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 chimming.
