Let us gather fuel for it, let us prepare for it offerings, let us make
ourselves conscious of the jointings of its times and its seasons.
It shall so perfect our thoughts that they shall extend our being
and create for us a larger life.

This is the guardian of the world and its peoples, the shepherd
of all these herds; all that is born moves by his rays and is
compelled by his flame, both the two-footed and the four-footed
creatures. This is the rich and great thought-awakening of the
Dawn within.

This is the priest who guides the march of the sacrifice, the first
and ancient who calls to the gods and gives the offerings; his is
the command and his the purification; from his birth he stands
in front, the vicar of our sacrifice. He knows all the works of
this divine priesthood, for he is the Thinker who increases in us.

The faces of this God are everywhere and he fronts all things
perfectly; he has the eye and the vision: when we see him from
afar, yet he seems near to us, so brilliantly he shines across the
gulfs. He sees beyond the darkness of our night, for his vision is
divine.
