God of Owyn come and weave us

As a Laurel us entwine

Every branch Thy grace sustaining,

In a living crown combine

Hardened we in gnarled armature

Barren, dry and brittle grown

Make us fertile, vital, limber,

Ply our shapes into Thine own

 

God of Harren, come ignite us

With Thy bright preserving flame

Make our cold, corrupted embers

Shining, warm and pure again.

Smothered in our own indifference

Breath your enlivening spirit o'er

Make of all our faults a kindling

Keep us burning forevermore
