Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now is the solstice of the year
Winter is the glad song that you hear
Seven maids move in seven time
Have the lads up ready in a line
[Chorus]
Ring out these bells
Ring out, ring solstice bells
Ring solstice bells
[Verse 2]
Join together 'neath the mistletoe
By the holy oak whereon it grows
Seven druids dance in seven time
Sing the song the bells call, loudly chiming
[Chorus]
Ring out these bells
Ring out, ring solstice bells
Ring solstice bells
[Bridge]
Ring out, ring out those solstice bells
Ring out, ring out those solstice bells
[Verse 3]
Praise be to the distant sister sun
Joyful as the silver planets run
Seven maids move in seven time
Sing the song the bells call, loudly chiming
[Chorus]
Ring out these bells
Ring out, ring solstice bells
Ring solstice bells
[Outro]
Ring on
Ring out
Ring on
Ring out
Ring on
Ring out
Ring on
Ring out
