What Night Is This

This Winter Solstice song is set to the music of the traditional Christmas carol, “What Child Is This.”

You could use it in your Wiccan ritual or simply to sing at home to celebrate this joyful Wiccan Sabbat. However you sing it, I hope it brings you as much peace and joy as it brings me.

However, the lyrics are copyrighted, so please don’t distribute copies of these to others, or (karmic disaster!) post them on your website, sell them or claim them as your own work.

What Night Is This

What night is this That breathes so slow

That sighs soft dreams Of quietness

What peace it sparks To wrap our hearts

With wondrous starry gentleness

Chorus:

This, this is the Velvet Dark

The fallow call of renewal

This, this is the pregnant Night

The sacred womb of All

The Sacred Dark is a Gift of rest

Allowing toil to Fall away

We wrap our fates In this still embrace

Releasing the calls of the day

Chorus

We find ourselves With our hearts and minds

We know the Love Within

With others knowing The Flame is growing

We share in warmth again

Chorus
