Hymn to Pallas Athena

Hymn to Pallas Athena

from the Book of Timeless Hymns

"You are my shadow,
Who has comforted me
With your heavenly presence.
Your melodious voice
Banishes my fear
Whenever I am in grave peril.

"You are my light,
Who guides my wandering.
Your tracks have never failed
To lead me home.
Your hands have steered
My ship to safety
From stormy seas.

"You are my strength
In time of trouble.
You have answered my prayer
By strengthening my tired limbs
And my flagging courage.
Your steady hand
Has guided my blows that
Put dismay in my enemy's soul.

"You are my wisdom,
Who brought me
To ecstasy and enlightenment.
Your flashing eyes
Pierced darkness and chaos
To reveal long-forgotten truths."
