 Come, Witches,  to the Dance, to the merry  Dance!
 Our Lady  loves  our Lord, O!
 With pipe  and drum  in Moon  and Sun
 For fair Dian  and merry  Pan
 The old ways  are made young, O
 The old  ways are  made young!
 When midnight  fills the sky, my true  love and  I
 Will cast  a circle  round, O
 With voices  strong  in chant  and song
 We'll work our  will and drink  our  fill
 And dance the  darkness down, O
 And dance  the darkness  down!
 To  the Lady’s Dance  of Life
 Her  sweet Piper calls
 But if  you should stumble
If  you should fall
 Rise  up to the Rhythm
 That embraces  it all
 Come, Witches,  to  the Dance!
 All hail  the Beltane fire! May it well inspire!
 Burn triumphant  to  the Lady!
 She is crowned  this day  the Queen  of May
 O’er woods and fields  Her green  sceptre She  wields
 The Mother now  holds sway, O
 The Mother  now  holds sway
 Farewell,  Our Lady Green! It is Hallowe’en!
 Now the Crone  wields Her  winter sceptre
 Though old  and wise,  young are  Her eyes
 Though Death She brings,  “Rebirth!”  She sings
 To all that fades  and dies, O
 To all  that fades  and dies
 To  the Lady’s Dance  of Life
 Her  sweet Piper calls
 But if  you should stumble
If  you should fall
 Rise  up to the Rhythm
 That embraces  it all
 Come, Witches,  to  the Dance!
 Once in  the Full Moon’s gleam as I lay  in dream
 Came the Lady  to  my chamber
 In earthly  form  like woman  born
 All Time, all Space  lay in  Her face
 I rose to Her  embrace, O
 I rose  to Her  embrace
 So queenly  was She, I fell to  my knee
 And bent  my brow  to Her, O
 “O no!”  said She,  “Kneel not  to Me
 But stand! Arise!  Open  your eyes!
 It is yourself  you see, O
 Yourself  you see  in Me!”
 Come, Witches,  as before, to the Shining  Door
 Fear not  to fling  it open!
 Fear not  to see  the Mystery:
 That we are Pan  and fair  Dian
 And evermore  shall be, O
 And evermore  shall be!

Once [Am]in the Full Moon’s gleam as I l[F]ay in dr[E]eam
Came the L[Am]ady t[G]o my ch[F]amb[G]er
In [C]earthly f[G]orm like w[F]oman b[E]orn [Am]

“O n[C]o!” said Sh[G]e, “Kneel n[F]ot to M[E]e  [Am]
But stand! [G]Arise! Op[F]en your [E]eyes! [Am]
It is yours[G]elf you s[F]ee, [G]O
Yours[C]elf you s[G]ee in M[Am]e!”   [F]     [E]        [Am]           [F]             [E]

Come, W[Am]itches, as before, to the Sh[F]ining D[E]oor
Fear n[Am]ot to fl[G]ing it [F]op[G]en!
Fear n[C]ot to s[G]ee the M[F]yster[E]y:  [Am]
That we are P[G]an and f[F]air Di[E]an  [Am]
And everm[G]ore shall b[F]e, [G]O
And [C]everm[G]ore shall b[Am]e!  [F]    [E]       [Am]          [F]            [E]              [Am]
