Benedictus - The Strawbs

The wanderer has far to go

Humble must he constant be

Where the paths of wisdom

Distant is the shadow of the setting sun

Bless the daytime, bless the night

Bless the sun which gives us light

Bless the thunder, bless the rain

Bless all those who cause us pain

Yellow stars may lead the way

All diversions lead astray

While his resolution holds

Fortune and good will will surely follow him

Bless the free man, bless the slave

Bless the hero in his grave

Bless the soldier, bless the saint

Bless all those whose hearts grow faint
