We call ancient kith and kin
of the many traditions and world-views,
of the many beliefs and movements
on this fine earth:
Work together with us, your descendants,
so that we and our future generations
may live in freedom, safety and frith.
Embrace all those who suffer from war, violence,
persecution and/or domination by a foreign nation
in their pain and despair, their fear and loss,
their hunger and loneliness, their fight or flee.
Embrace the lands and all animals!
May our heartfelt plea for peace,
freedom and safety be heard.
Today we nourish
the flame of frith!
Today we nourish
the flame of tolerance!
Today we nourish
the flame of solidarity!
Flame of frith rush further and forth:
free and joyful, forceful and bright.
Flame of frith rush further and forth:
feed fondness and unite,
rekindle awareness and understanding.
Flame of frith rush further and forth:
through waters wide,
through fields and nature free,
deep down the earth, high in the sky.
We are weaving a mighty web!
We design a pattern of peace!
We tell our tales of times to come!
We feed the Flame of Frith.
We feed all peaceful forces.
May it open many hearts and minds
May it build bridges between peoples.
May our thoughts and deeds
be a loving contribution
for all living beings.
May our thoughts and deeds
be a loving contribution
to generations yet to come.
Wæs þu hæl!
