Sturdy Hephaestos, craftsman unequalled,
soul of fire and forge, bringer of thought to fact.
In the lore of intricate machines,
in precision and skill, in calloused hands,
in nobility within misfortune,
in these we see you, mighty Hephaestos.
Hephaestos, strong-armed builder of wonders,
creater of delicate finery,
guide of artisans, son of great Hera,
we thank you, Hephaestos, for a keen eye,
for a deft hand, for an artist's heart.
O Hephaestos, we praise and honor you.
