A
Dakota Prayer |
|
|
|
|
Grandfather, Great Spirit, you have been always, and before
you nothing has been, there is no one to pray to but you.
The star nations all over the heavens are yours, and yours
are the grasses of the earth. You are older than all need,
older than all pain and prayer.
|
|
Grandfather, Great Spirit, look upon your
children, the Spirit Lake Oyate, that they may face the
winds and walk the good road to the day of quiet.
|
| |
Grandfather, Great Spirit, fill us with the
light, Give us with the light. Give us the strength to
understand and eyes to see. Teach us to walk the soft earth,
as relatives, to all that live. |
|
| |
Help us, for without you we are nothing. |
