The Carol of the Unconquered Sun

from Live on Midwinter's Day by The Silver Twiglets

/

lyrics

Nowell sing we, both all and some,
The sun unconqueréd is come.

He's risen up in love and joy,
Flames out his favour from the sky;
His being brings us gaiety,
Both all and some, both all and some.

Out of the womb of deepest night,
He's sprung with growing warmth and light,
To cure disease and put us right,
Both all and some, both all and some.

The saving sun to us was sent,
To bliss us brought, from blackness bent,
Or else to death we down had went,
Both all and some, both all and some.

Oh, he will shine with love and light,
In furrows fair his pennon strike,
The earth is stirred with lust for life,
Both all and some, both all and some.

Praise to the sun for our comfort,
He's guided us to join his sport,
We'll hold our happiness in his sort,
Both all and some, both all and some.
