O Aeda, we sing praises to you, who is the voice of the trees

As the earth of the world is your flesh, so are we your hands

As the air of the world is your breath, so are we your words

As the waters of the world are your blood, so are we your pain

O Aeda, we sing praises to you, who is the bones of the world

Though your work is dangerous, we shall not fear

Though your tasks are difficult, we shall not shirk

Though your edicts are firm, we shall be gentle

Though your will is eternal, we shall strive to live freely

Through your patience, we are made worthy of your grace

Through your wisdom, you safeguard us from our ignorance

Through your kindness, you forgive us our failings

O Aeda, we sing praises to you, who is the kiss of the wind

From the East, I seek the lessons of childhood

From the South, I seek the ways of questioning

From the West, I affirm my responsibility and duty

From the North, I look for the strength of balance

O Aeda, we sing praises to you, who is the embrace of the ocean

In life, we are given grace

In living, we are given purpose

In dying, we nourish those who follow

As you are, so shall we ever be, together as a spiral

From the first day to the last, while the world remains
