Rise! arise! arise! Rise! arise, arise! Wake ye! arise, life is greeting thee. Wake ye, arise, ever watchful be. Mother Life-god, she is calling thee! Mother Life-god, she is calling thee! Mother Life-god, she is greeting thee. All arise, arise, arise! Rise! arise, arise! II Mighty Sun-god! give thy light to us, Let it guide us, let it aid us. See it rise! See it rise! How the heart glows, how the soul delights In the music of the sunlight. Watch it rise! Watch it rise! Wake ye, arise, life is greeting thee. Wake ye, arise, ever watchful be. Mother Life-god, she is calling thee! Mother Life-god she is greeting thee. All arise, arise, arise! Rise! arise, arise! HYMN TO THE SUN (_Zuñi_) I Early in the morning, We waken, we waken. When mother Sun-god rises, We welcome her with joy. She greets us with a radiant face, She meets us with a warm embrace, So sweetly, so sweetly. Merrily we sing and dance; In happy spirit we advance; Merrily we sing and dance; In happy spirit we advance. We are children of the sun, Arm in arm together run, Round a ring we steady move: Our hearts will faithful prove, As the sun comes near to us, Near to us, near to us. Listen! just listen! II What a wondrous shower of sounds, Countless beats in rapid rounds, Ever changing ever new, Constant strains of high and low. They are messengers of love, Spirit voices from above, Bringing light and life and joy Telling us of bliss on high, Bliss on high! Bliss on high! Listen! just listen! III Whence come all these distant sounds? Echoes, where the light abounds: Crystal streams in murmurs faint, Bursting forth without restraint. They are golden grains of thought, Silent whispers faintly caught, Filling us with joy content, Pathways of our souls’ ascent, Souls’ ascent, souls’ ascent. Listen! just listen! IV Glory to the sunlight rays, Glory to the Sun-god’s ways, Sunlight rays, Sun-god’s ways. They command us: to endure, To be silent, chaste and pure, To be faithful, true and brave, To the laws our fathers gave. O harken to the Sun-god’s voice Beckoning your soul to rise: In radiant light, the source of song, The origin of thought has sprung: As light and song in one unite, Let us forever seek the light, We seek the light, we seek the light. Listen! just listen! SUNSET SONG (_Zuñi_) Goodnight to thee, Fair Goddess, We thank thee for thy blessing. Goodnight to thee, Fair Goddess, We thank thee for this day. In glory we behold thee At early dawn again. We thank thee for thy blessing, To be with us this day. This day, We thank thee for this day. INVOCATION TO THE SUN-GOD (_Zuñi_)
