Kind Asklepios, son of Apollo,
mender of many, patron of healers.
In gentleness of voice and skillful touch,
in hard-learned knowledge and in quick instinct,
in children returned to longed-for health.
in these we see you, great Asklepios
Asklepios, maker of sound bodies,
honored in temples across the ancient world,
you cure all disease, you renew our lives.
We thank you for blessings given to all,
for we all will one day ask for your gift.
Asklepios, we praise and honor you.
