Hail to You, most splendid God!
You who heard my heart’s voice calling
and answered,
Your voice like formless gold
folding through the air,
turning pages soaked with ink.
Hail to You, glittering Lady,
Whose radiant face
brightens the Earth at dawn,
illuminates my purpose,
shows me with calm force
what roads to walk and how.
A thousand praises to the Two
who gave song to my ka,
fired the forges of my spirit
to give form to Their words,
to embody Their desire,
to carry Their brilliance
into this dimly lit hall.
May I be fierce and untiring for You;
May I be gentle and wise.
May my footprints be Yours in the world;
May I always walk with Your beauty and joy.
