As we feel the warmth of the fire on our bodies, may our hearts be warmed with love for each other and for thee.
Familiar faces glow with a strange radiance by firelight.
May we learn to see the hidden wonder in each human life and seek to understand each other as thou dost understand us. As we gaze into the fire at the center of our circle, help us to know that it is the light of thy truth which saves mankind from darkness. May that truth shine forth from our lives. When we turn from the dying embers to face the blackness at our backs, may the night around us be bright because thy Spirit burns within our hearts.
