The Light is Restored

(to the tune of O Come All Ye Faithful)

O come, all ye satyrs,
Play thy flutes and trumpets
O come ye, O come ye from forest and fen
The light that is golden
Born on the horizon

Chorus:
O come and greet the morning,
O come and greet the morning,
O come and greet the morning,
The light is restored

Sing from the fields
Men of every station
Bring forth the sickle ’neath the mistle above
A new king shall come
To reign in all the forest

Chorus:
O come and greet the new king,
O come and greet the new king,
O come and greet the new king,
His throne is restored.

The robin shall greet thee
Anew this winter morning
Free from the dark of night our song shall ascend
No foot shall falter
The robin shall greet thee

           Chorus:
           O come and greet the new king,
           O come and greet the new king,
           O come and greet the new king,
           His throne is restored.

Light now the hearthfire!
Raise thy glass in tribute!
Wassail! Wassail! Rejoice in your hearts
Hail, friend and kinsman!
Hail, stag and stallion!

Chorus:
O come and feast rejoicing,
O come and feast rejoicing,
O come and feast rejoicing,
The light is restored

O come and be grateful!
The new day is triumphant!
O come ye, O come ye from glade and from glen;
A new day unfolding
A new sun is arising

Chorus:
O come and greet the morning,
O come and greet the morning,
O come and greet the morning,
The light is restored
