We hail thee, O gods,

Each in the way decreed

By the vast spans of time

And the vaster spans of the human spirit

That reflects your eternal light

As the moon reflects the sun,

As the waters drink our visage,

As the mirror shows us our souls.

May your blessings be upon us

All the days of our lives,

And may we live those lives in contemplation

Of the glory of your being.
