01 Sacred Light 02 Great Commission
Hail Asha Vahishta, the one best right The Holy Spirit touched a noble mind
And Vohu Manah, the good mind so bright Who had been chosen to shoulder a task
Hail Kshathra Vairya, true dominion And forever left to the world his mark
Bow in Armaiti, with all devotion Through the great truth he expounded so fine
Hail Haurvatat, blessed integrity Was it not the cry of an oppressed kind
And Ameretat, immortality That was heard wailing in a world so dark?
Hail Spenta Mainyu, the Holy Spirit! Was it not the tears which then came to ask
For any saviour or his coming sign?
Thus spoke Zarathustra asking the Lord
Yet surely knowing of his great calling
Zarathusthra To bravely stand and take the gentle sword
Soneta 007 By which to prevent the world from falling
Petrarca To an evil lie and its darkening
AD 2002 An accursed bondage and painful stronghold
03 Sacred Name 04 Great Vocation
In obedience now came forth the man Thus called he, Zarathusthra, to uphold
Who had been commanded to bless the land The one sacred life amongst living men
To proclaim the sacred name of the One By turning them back from an evil plan
From whom all dishonesty would thus run That in truthfulness they might now behold
For He is the ruling Lord Ahura The divine beauty truly manifold
Source of all truth and only Wise Mazda Shining over those who would take the stand
Who revealed His bountiful immortals! To renew all life through-out the great land
And liberate the world from its dark hold
Patiently he taught, joyfully he preached
The message of truth he had come to share
Zarathustra Gently convincing every mind he reached
Soneta 008 Provoking the souls of all who would bear
Petrarca To anyone who might truthfully care
AD 2002 It was so wonderful to hear him teach
05 Sacred Soul 06 Great Promotion
Hail Ashavan, the noble righteous With open and up-lifted arms he came
Master of Athra, fire glorious To offer the Lord a hymn of beauty
Who established his mental clarity Loving so dearly in all purity
And by enlightenment found unity Acting as a friend who dared call His name
Since to Sraosha, the deep inner voice By his faith he would readily proclaim
In obedience he pondered the choice The true joy of His divine ecstasy
Thereby pleasing the Holy Immortals! For the Lord in all His great majesty
Was a good lover of the highest fame
Zarathustra / Soneta 009 In Him life was found so magnificent
Petrarca / AD 2002 Boundlessly rich and full of great blessings
Through His Spirit, one most beneficent
07 Sacred Song There would always be perfect rejoicings
By the Gatha, sacred hymn of beauty For the Wise Lord was master of all things
And the Yasna, prayer of purity And His favour a true Wonderment.
By the Mathra, words provoking the mind
Conscience, Daena, would grace each line
With Humata, goodly thoughts arising,
And Huxta, good pleasant words combining
Bringing Hvarshta, good poetical deeds!
