Plain text of Book 3, Hymn 30

1 Freedom from hate I bring to you, concord and unanimity.

Love one another as the cow loveth the calf that she hath borne.

2 One-minded with his mother let the son be loyal to his sire.

Let the wife, calm and gentle, speak words sweet as honey to her lord.

3 No brother hate his brother, no sister to sister be unkind.

Unanimous, with one intent, speak ye your speech in friendliness.

4 That prayer through which the angels sever not, nor ever bear each other hate,

That prayer we lay upon your home, a bond of union for the men.

5 Intelligent, submissive, rest united, friendly and kind, bearing the yoke together.

Come, speaking sweetly each one to the other. I make you one-intentioned and one-minded.

6 Let what you drink, your share of food be common: together, with one common bond I bind you.

Serve God, gathered round Him like the spokes about the chariot nave.

7 With binding prayer I make you all united, obeying one sole leader and one-minded.

Even as the angels, at morn and eve, may ye be kindly-hearted.
