Ring Out Solstice Bells - Jethro Tull

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.

Ring out these bells.
Ring out, ring solstice bells.
Ring solstice bells.

Join together beneath the mistletoe.
by the holy oak whereon it grows.
Seven druids dance in seven time.
Sing the song the bells call, loudly chiming.

Ring out these bells.
Ring out, ring solstice bells.
Ring solstice bells.

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.
Ring out those bells.
Ring out, ring solstice bells.
Ring solstice bells.
Ring on, ring out.
Ring on, ring out.
* The closing quote is from the song "Noon Of The Solstice" by Damh The Bard and you can check that song out here:

Love this... Reminds me of mulled wine or a good whisky going down on a cold December evening..And on top of that, at the end of the day, its a bloody good Jethro Tull song...

[BethOwlsDaughter]

Oh my gosh!!! This is THE BEST! For years I shared the Top of the Pops video on my blog, but it's now restricted. So I found this and oh my Goddess! This is absolutely wonderful! Thank you thank you thank you!!! Tears in my eyes. Blessed Solstice!

[ValkyriesView]

God Jul! and a blessed Solstice to you all!
To Cottage of the Crone, I have to add that for Pagans & Heathens, you put together probably the most perfect set of imagery to Ian's lyrics that I've seen...gave me chills & made my eyes sparkle.

An "old-fashioned" and magical Christmas feeling is heralded with this song....just wonderful, as always and ever!

"Ring Out, Solstice Bells"

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.

Ring out these bells.
Ring out, ring solstice bells.
Ring solstice bells.

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.

Ring out these bells.
Ring out, ring solstice bells.
Ring solstice bells.

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.

Ring out those bells.
Ring out, ring solstice bells.
Ring solstice bells.
Ring on, ring out.
Ring on, ring out.
