A hymn of the Abbey of Light
Commonly sung by the Devoted during meditations in the night watches,
Meant to instruct the young in the seven Virtues of Aulis
From daybreak 'til the Sun goes down, Devoted shall I be.
In darkness when the night surrounds, I bear the Light in me.
First Purity above all else, unwavering moral will,
Then Diligence in work that wells up from a heart kept still.
Compassion toward the one in need, lift up the one brought low.
And Generosity the seed from which new life may grow.
With Peace extended unto all, no matter friend or foe.
Reveal the Strength of Aulis' call, make those once-blinded know,
From Markday until Final Dawn, and every day between,
Devoted ever, I shine on. May Light by men beseen.
