Song to the Bright Weaver

I sing to you, O Lady of the Farthest Star
Though my voice often shakes
I lift my hands to Your service and my soul to Your care
Lady of the Sky Loom,
Whose Hands spin the thread of creation,
Your light is the life of all the world
And I draw my breath from You.

Then weave for me, Lady, a garment of brightness:
May the warp be the shining starlight
May the weft be the radiant moon
May the fringes be the thousand colors of sunset
Thus weave for me a garment of brightness
That I may walk fittingly upon the path of beauty
That I may walk fittingly where the night is dark
That I may bring your grace to Earth,
O Lady of the Farthest Star!

 

Based on "Song of the Sky Loom," a prayer of the Tewa Pueblo
