Now the Sun King Wears His Crown (Winter song)

from the ABC set Lyrics

1st Verse:

Now, the Sun King wears his crown;
making smile from winter frown;
now a happy world beholds
his broad beams of burnished gold.

See the Sun kings shining face,
wide world in his warm embrace.
Now, his golden throne ascends;
reign of darkness at an end.

Chorus:

Sing our salutations
to our returning sun;
a bright new age begun
of joy for everyone.

2nd Verse:

See the gifts the Sun King brings,
reawakening the spring;
with his magic golden kiss
from sleep of Winter solstice.

Now the Sun King spreads his wealth;
restoring nature to health;
all that his bright eye has seen
starts to flower and grow green.

Chorus:
Sing our salutations
to our returning sun;
a bright new age begun
of joy for everyone.

This is a little premature for the season John- but it is exquisite- puts me in such a good mood and makes me long for Spring but also makes me able to get through the winter I feel.. Thanks so much for your everlasting optimism and positivity..

Thanks, pia.

It does seem premature but before I wrote the lyrics I looked at lots of Yuletide poems on Pagan and Wiccan sites and they all talk about Spring and about the Sun in its full glory so I assumed that 'Looking forward' was a part of Yule.

Glad you found it optimistic. There's alot of spiritual cold and gloom in the world, particularly right now, and it would be nice if my poems/lyrics could be little lanterns amid that gloom.

Thank you, gerardineanne.

I'm glad you found it calming. I thought that it might sound nice sung by a choir.

Thank you, Jenny. You being the resident expert on these sorts of things, I'm glad that you liked it.

I really wanted to write a non-Christian song that
was like a carol with the same kind of sentimentality
that you find in Christmas carols.

Mind you, I know that a couple of non-Christian songs have been turned into popular Carols. "The Holly & The Ivy" and, "Here we come a wassailing".
