Upon him be the purest blessing from You, everlasting,
Upon him the most virtuous eternal prayer from You
Upon him be Your purest, everlasting blessings,
As long as morning's keen sword cleaves the pelt of dusk.
As the dawn cleaves the darkness at first light
As long as the sharp sword of morning cleaves the mantle of darkness.

Make our steps those of one whose sought-for goal said
Make our missteps follow in the steps of him who uttered
Make our footsteps the footsteps of one to whom his goal says,
To him, 'May it be pleasant and wholesome'—an utterance of love.
His want is fortunate and splendid, the statement of certainty
'May it be wholesome and sweet,' with the voice of pure affection.
