We'll Welcome Back the Sun
by Cath Harney
On the 21st day of December, the darkest day of the year
We light up our yule fire and keep a warm glow
We welcome all those who draw near.
Come take off your wet and tattered jacket
Wrap up in a blanket that's warm
Tell us your story, and where you are bound
Some food for your tellin' will be found
CHORUS
We'll dance and we'll sing on this beautiful night
To welcome the sun
We'll dance and we'll sing, feel the warmth of the fire,
We'll welcome back the sun, we'll welcome back the sun
The family has gathered for the feast now
Our friends and the wanderer too
We give thanks for the harvest that feeds us this day
We give thanks for the coming light anew
We gathered up the mistletoe and holly
Together wreaths and garlands we've made
They bring us good cheer at this dark time of year
The firelight just like the sun ablaze
CHORUS
