Lord of the universe, Whether thou art male, Whether thou art female, Lord of reproduction Wherever thou mayest be! O Lord of divination Where art thou? Thou mayest be above, Thou mayest be below, Or perhaps around Thy splendid throne and sceptre. O hear me! From the sky above, In which thou mayest be, From the sea beneath In which thou mayest be. Creator of the world, Maker of all men; Lord of all Lords My eyes fail me for longing to see thee For the sole desire to know thee. O look down upon me For thou knowest me. The sun--the moon-- The day--the night-- Spring--winter, Are not ordained in vain By thee, O Deity! They all travel To the assigned place; They all arrive At their destined ends Whithersoever thou pleasest. Thy royal sceptre Thou holdest. O hear me! O choose me! Let it not be That I should tire, That I should die!","title":"Pagan Prayers: Hymn to the Unknown God (Peruvian)","type":"page"}
