My new favorite Solstice/Yule song

Yule is Come

Yule is come now beat the drum,
And light the solstice flame.
Tonight we'll raise a hymn of praise,
For the sun returns again.

Hail to Yule,
the longest night,
Of all the turning year,
Awake the resurrecting light,
That banishes despair.
For now the tide will start to turn,
And night will yield to day,
And the waning year will shed its skin,
And cast the dark away.

Yule is come now beat the drum,
And light the solstice flame.
Tonight we'll raise a hymn of praise,
For the sun returns again.

So pile the bonfire,
join the dance,
And raise your voices high,
Old winter can no more advance,
Its hold on earth and sky.
For soon the sap will rise again,
The mute once more will sing,
And the weary heart will wake anew,
To the promise of the spring.
