The sun stands still
On St. John’s Eve,
And so we gather
To its glory.
The sun stands still
And tells the story:
Sacrifice,
Apotheosis.
The sun stands still
In final triumph -
Redeeming light
To pierce the night.
The sun stands still.
We learn the lesson,
Receive the blessing,
That we may say:
The sun stands still
When we’re together,
On St. John’s Eve
Or any day.
