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