PRAYER TO THE MOUNTAIN SPIRIT

FROM THE NAVAJO





Lord of the Mountain,

Reared within the Mountain

Young Man, Chieftain,

Hear a young man's prayer!

Hear a prayer for cleanness.

Keeper of the strong rain,

Drumming on the mountain;

Lord of the small rain

That restores the earth in newness;

Keeper of the clean rain,

Hear a prayer for wholeness,



Young Man, Chieftain,

Hear a prayer for fleetness.



Keeper of the deer's way,

Reared among the eagles,

Clear my feet of slothness.

Keeper of the paths of men,

Hear a prayer for straightness.



Hear a prayer for courage.

Lord of the thin peaks,

Reared amid the thunders;

Keeper of the headlands

Holding up the harvest,

Keeper of the strong rocks

Hear a prayer for staunchness.



Young Man, Chieftain,

Spirit of the Mountain!
