On this darkest Winter night,

With the Yule log burning bright,

Mothers loving watch do keep

While the children sleep.

Light the candles one by one.

Welcome back the midnight sun:

Keeping watch all through the night,

’Til the morning light.

Bridge:

All the world lies soft and deep.

Winter’s cold winds blow

While the Mother’s children sleep

Safe beneath the snow.

gently hold me, my desire,

While we snuggle by the fire

Waiting for the birds to sing

With the dawn of Spring.
