Use Well The Days


A Christian Midsummer Song

Here’s a song I wrote, which we could sing and dance to in the moonlight on Midsummer's Eve, if we wish, based on a traditional Irish tune from my Clannad CD ("Dulaman"--you can hear it here). After each verse the chorus is repeated. The title is Gaelic and means Dance.

                                                   Damhsa

 

                        Here we like to dance in the moonlight

                        On Midsummer’s Eve, to celebrate the sunlight

 

                        chorus:

                        Oh, our God, we love your creation!

                        We worship and praise You, Lord of all creation!

 

                        Our fairy crowns we don in the moonlight

                        Twigs and flowers kissed by the sunlight   (chorus)

 

                        The Bride reflects her Lord like the moonlight

                        His love and life shine forth like the sunlight   (chorus)

 

                        And as we dance together in the moonlight

                        We bid good-night to midsummer sunlight   (chorus)
