Wild Hunt Wild Hunt MP3
Tune: Angels We Have heard on High

1.Riders we have seen on high
Hunting ‘cross the Northern Sky
Take these gifts we’ve laid for you
Guard our house the whole year through.

Chorus:
Hail and Wassail!
Hail and Wassail!
Hail and Wassail, Mighty Hunt!
Riding through the Yule sky.

Hail and Wassail!
Hail and Wassail!
Hail and Wassail, Mighty Hunt!
Riding through the Yule night sky.

2.Hail the Spirits of this night
Faring home to kindred hall
Hail Ancestors, Gods and Wights
Welcome we give one and all.

Chorus

3.Blessing bring unto this hearth
Weal and fame to all within
As we give our Troth tonight
Standing with our Æsir Kin
