To the Holy Ones (Sing We Now)
Melissa S Burchfield

We come to the Well, the great Mouth of the Earth
Our gold and our silver in hand
We offer our flowers and grains ‘round the tree
In honor of those of the land
We pour out our offerings unto the fire,
The oil and incense we bring
Our spirits will soar as the Gods fan the flames
Compelling our voices to sing
To the Holy Ones

Chorus:
And we Sing, sing, sing we now to the Kindred
Sing, sing, sing we now to our Gods
Sing, sing, sing to Those Gone Before us
Sing, sing, sing to the Noble Ones
To the Holy Ones

May our voices resound in the deep, hallowed Well
That carries our love to our Dead
May the Tree, rooted deep reach the realm ‘neath our feet
Crowned high, reach the realms overhead
May our voices arise on the fire, so bright,
That carries our gifts to the sky
The honor, the love, the respect we pour out
From heart and from hand as we cry
To the Holy Ones

Descant:
We sing to our Gods in the loftiest heights, on high
We sing to our Noblest guides who dwell by our side
We sing to the Ancestors, Those Gone Before, below
We sing to the Mother of All, Our Goddess, our Earth, our home.

To those down below, to those of the land
To those of the realms above
Kindred, three, we pay honor to Thee
In reverence and fullness of love
Our feet tread the paths of the Elder Ways
In the center of Land, Sky and Sea
Returning the balance between Earth and Men
In *ghosti we give and receive
To the Holy Ones
