Greeting the Day

1.

Hail the Holy Powers!
I ask for a good day.
A day that will hone my skills.
A day full of fruitful work.
A day where I may learn.
A day where appetite may meet enjoyment.
And if it be a difficult day,
Give me, Lords and Ladies, main and wit
to sharpen my blade on its roughness
and return to night stronger.
Hail!



2.

I pray today be a good day,
a full day, a rich day.
I pray today I may meet
and match my mete,
stand tall, and do honor to all
who honor me.
I pray today I may be judged
praiseworthy
for raising my worth
and doing noble work.
I pray today be a good day,
a full day, a rich day.
