Text

Grant, O God, Thy protection,
And in protection, strength,
And in strength, understanding,
And in understanding, knowledge,
And in knowledge, the knowledge of justice,
And in the knowledge of justice, the love of it,
And in that love, the love of all existences,
And in the love of all existences, the love of God.
God and all goodness.

Druid's Prayer by Edward Williams (bardic name Iolo Morganwg), 1747–1826
