Subject:

Honor to the untamed God!
We call you who goes down with the sun into darkness
Yet arises in light
You teach us that no end is final
You are cut with the grain
Yet grow again to comfort us with the promise of renewal
The promise of the spiral
Come to us, guide and friend!
Seed sower, grain reborn
The comforter, the consoler,
Heart's ease and sorrow's end.
	(the comforter, the consoler)
	(heart's ease and sorrow's end)
I am born when dark turns to light
	(the comforter, the consoler)
Youth of the sun's waxing
	(heart's ease and sorrow's end)
Grain sown in the balance
	(the comforter, the consoler) (etc.)
Leaping fire on the hearth
Lover of blossom and thorn
Shining face descending
Reaper of abundant harvest
Long-handed God in the night
He is here! He is the guide!
The gate is open; he is the guide!
The way is clear; he is the guide
To the unseen, the mystery of turning and returning
The dancer in the heart
Who passes, who goes down and arises, who touches
	(heart's ease and sorrow's end)
