Chris Johnston Poet Chant Royal

Dawn Prayer --- Translation

Modlitwa o wschodzie slonca

Kazdy Twój wyrok przyjme twardy
Przed moca Twoja sie ukorze
Ale chron mnie, Panie, od pogardy
Od nienawisci strzez mnie, Boze

Wszak Tys jest niezmierzone dobro
Którego nie wyraza slowa
Wiec mnie od nienawisci obron
I od pogardy mnie zachowaj

Co postanowisz, niech sie zisci
Niechaj sie wola Twoja stanie
Ale zbaw mnie od nienawisci
Ocal mnie od pogardy Panie...

--Jacek Kaczmarski


Dawn Prayer 

To Your harshest judgments I resign myself
I am humbled by Your power 
But protect me Lord from hatred
And shield me from contempt 

Because You are boundless providence
The ineffable One
So give me refuge from hatred
And give me sanctuary from contempt

May Your wishes be carried out 
Let Your will be done
But shield me from hatred
Deliver me from contempt, my Lord .

--translated by Christopher Johnston
