HIGH PRIESTESS: We call upon you
                               Oh Goddess Bright
                               To return our Lord
                               On this darkest night!

           MEMBERS: We saw your sign
                               KERRIDWEN THE BRIGHT
                               Return our dear Lord
                               On this darkest night!


HIGH PRIESTESS: Oh dearest Lady
                               We saw that great sight
                               The precious sign
                               Of red berries bright!

           MEMBERS: We saw your sign
                               Mother so bright
                               Return our dear Lord
                               On this darkest night!

HIGH PRIESTESS: Lady! Lady Bright!
                               Pity the weak, the young, the old
                               For they shall surely perish
                               In this deathly cold!

           MEMBERS: We saw your sign
                               Mother of Light
                               Return our dear Lord
                               On this darkest night!

   THE GODDESS: Dear children all!
                              I have heard your earnest plea
                              I send now my Sun
                              Blessedly unto thee!

                              Open now your hearts
                              And clear your waning sight
                              Your Lord returns
                              As the purest Light!

(The light is lit)

 ALL MEMBERS: Taru! Taru! Taruos!
                             Our Lord of Light
                             Your presence fills up
                             This darkest night!

                             Welcome! Beloved, Welcome!

                             For where all was cold
                             And the darkest night
                             We now gaze upon
                             The purest Light!

                             We gaze upon the Sun reborn
                             Upon the Lord Sun-Bright

AYEA! AYEA! AYEA!


Then there is a dance of joy and chanting:


KERRIDWEN!            KERNUNNOS!

KERRIDWEN!            KERNUNNOS!


And then the feast and the gift giving begins.
