Cold

and darkness

clouds on a midnight sky,

cold

and darkness

skeletal arms of trees.

Cold

and darkness

brown and barren earth,

cold

and darkness

no animals to be seen.

No light

no light to be seen,

no light

no light shining through.

Cold

and darkness

clouds on a midnight sky,

cold

and darkness

skeletal arms of trees.

Light is

light is shining through.

See the sun rise above the horizon

see the sun shed its light and warmth,

see the sun rise above the horizon

see the sun shed its light on earth.

See the sun rise above the horizon

see the sun shine through the dark,

see the sun rise above the horizon

see the sun bring its warmth to earth.

We give thanks to

God and Goddess

We give thanks for

warmth and light.

After the cold, hard night

we watch the sun rise bright

and we give thanks for the sun.
