Amanda Aremisia Forrester
Inspirer of works, leader of the Muses nine
The hunter Who for sweet Daphne pined
Lord of Delos, now I pray
Give me Thy words on this day
Glorious Apollo, blazing bright
Fill me with Thy luminous light
In all hours and for all seasons
Let me reflect Thy reason
Clear my mind of erroneous thought
Thou Who with great Python fought
He Who plays Thy golden lyre
Purify me in Thy sacred fire
Teach me the right, show me the way
Thou Who rewards the just and makes the wicked pay
Son of Zeus Who sits at Delphi
Deliver us Thy wisdom from on high
