This is one of my favorite Christmas songs, a traditional hymn I sang as a child. I’m singing with a bit of a cold, and playing with a brace on one hand, but nevertheless here it is. 🙂 Enjoy!
Instrument: Zither (Lap harp or plucked psaltery)
Tuning: A4 = 432HZ
My contribution to the Yuletide, sung to the tune of “Jingle Bells” and played on ukulele.
Sun has come
Sun is gone
Sun will shine again.
Longest night, it’s time to light
Your inner fire of change.
Yule!
Sun has come
Sun is gone
Sun will shine again.
Longest night, it’s time to light
Your inner fire of change!
It’s little known that what later became a popular Christmas song, is based on a traditional Czech carol. The timeless tune has had many incarnations, arrangements, recordings, mixes, and performances. While credit cannot be given for the original because it is unknown, the carol is enjoyed to this day in the hearts and homes of many. I hope you enjoy my zither arrangement!

I intended to post this yesterday, on the first Sunday of Advent. But I wasn’t feeling well, so it comes today instead.
