Oh Father Sun
    Great and glorious one!
My spirit flies to you with the dawn
     And returns revitalized and new,
Purified in the fires of your glow,
     My inner sun awakens.

Ancient wisdom courses through my being,
    As I awaken to your beams.
I give thanks for your life-giving force,
     To the earth, to the sky, the water,
For all beings, for love.

 I breathe in your eternal breath
    And fill my heart with your song.
Then I hear my own inner voice,
    Singing my tune.
My harvest within is silver,
    And my soul is tempered of fine gold
And now, I can ascend to the stars.
