Hephaestus Orphic Hymn Lyrics
Hephaestus, strong of heart,
mighty god,
with endless spark.
Fiery flashes light your way,
you bring light to night and day.
Hands so strong,
eternal flame,
living with skill, making your name.
Worker, element so pure,
consuming all, yet you endure.
Above all, you are supreme,
found in all, a godly gleam.
Ether, sun, stars, moon bright,
Hephaestus’ limbs bring us light.
In every home, town, and land,
fire in us, by your hand.
Great in joy, mighty and strong,
hear our sacred prayer and song.
Come to us, blessed and kind,
bringing works of joy to find.
Calm the wild, raging fire,
give our bodies true desire.
