Entry 8 - Ode To Ing
Bèd On Ing (Ode/Prayer To Ing)
Behàl Je, behallèd Ing
Behàl Je, Allmòðer, Allfaðer
Beherchen ůr stefen in Jij Àren
Beherchen ůr wyrd in Jij Halle
Translation [1]:
Hail to Thee, hallowed Ing
Hail to Thee, Mother All, Father All.
Hearken to our song in your ears
Hearken to our words in your hall
The Ode To Ing is the traditional opening to all Ingwin sermons and ceremonies held within the Maralder Union. It is first spoken then chanted or sung as a round by a choir and the congregation. Recently the first two lines have begun closing the ceremony as the congregants leave the Inghalle temple/chapel.
[1] NB some liberties have been taken to be poetic e.g. stefen more accurately translates as voice, and halle is a temple or church.
