"We kindle this fire today,
In the presence of the Holy Ones,
Without malice, without jealousy, without envy,
Without fear of aught beneath the Sun
But the High Gods.
Thee we invoke, O Light of Life;
Be thou a bright flame before us,
Be thou a guiding star above us,
Be thou a smooth path beneath us.
Kindle thou within our hearts
A flame of love for our neighbors,
To our foes, to our friends, to our kindred all,
To all men on earth;
O merciful Son of Cerridwen
From the lowliest thing that liveth,
To the name which is highest of all."
