Hail and Merry meet
the New dawns the rite we keep
Hail to the winter
winds that blow
tonight we greet
the turning of the year we know
A cool kiss for
our cheek we ask
Hail to the fire
that warms our hands
As we stand out
the darkness of night
by the fires
light we gather round
Hail to the waters
icy grace
As we tread with
care over the land enfolded
Snowflakes dance
of winters lace
Hail to the earth
whose heart beat sounds still
wrapped like
we in its blanket of white
still and calm
is the world tonight
Greetings Great
Mother
we stand in your
light
Hail and come
bless us
On this new years
night
Yule fires still
burn
the flames dance
in the night
we send up our
best wishes for the world tonight
Greetings favored
Father
we hearken to
thy word
Tell to us words
of wisdom
for the year
to unfold
Hand to hand we
gather round
bon fire light
flickers on each face
Ice glitters
like diamonds on the snowy ground
we dance and
make shadows in the light
Hearken to the
pathway that brought you here
notice the footprints
in the night
bless the pathway,
even if rocky the road
that brought
you here to the light
Look deep into
the eyes of your fellows
share with them
your love this night
warriors of eternity
we stand for what is right
Hail Great Mother
your children
stand, beating on the drum
ready to take
on the year to hand
We rain down
blessings on our fellow man
and wish for
them all good things to come
Hail to the winter
winds that blew
tonight we greeted
the turning of the year
we thank you
for your cool kiss of life
Hail to the fire
that warmed our hands
As we stood out
the darkness of night
by the fires
light we gathered round
we thank you
for your light
Hail to the waters
icy grace
As we treaded
with care over the land enfolded
Snowflakes dance
of winters lace
we thank you
for your embrace
Hail to the earth
whose heart beat sounds still
wrapped like
we in a blanket of white
still and calm
is the world tonight
We bless the
whole world with your might
