EXPLANATION OF THE GLOSSING SYSTEM
(to understand how I describe the signs in this translation).

1. WIND, WE ORDER CALM*. CLOUD GO-AWAY+.
TIME+ NOW QUIET. GRACE SEND PEACE~COOPERATE.

(<) H-O-P-E SETTLE-DOWN LIKE BIRD REST, (>) L-O-V-E SHINE-DOWN LIKE SUN.
HAPPEN OUTSIDE, SETTLE-DOWN. INSIDE-SELF QUIET CAN.


Notes: GO-AWAY+ - GO-AWAY - [B^], PO down, FO away, moves away, while straightening to a [B] several times.

GRACE - [O^] or [S], held high and PO > Heaven, supinates and opens to [5] while being brought towards head. For an animated gif of this sign, see Animated dictionary of religious signs - Deaf Missions: Grace.

SETTLE-DOWN - (2h)[5], POs down, FOs away, descend with several stops along the way.

INSIDE-SELF - The FT of [C] are held against the chest and stuff the FT of [O^] into the [C] twice.

Lyrics:

Winds be still. Storm clouds pass and silence come.
Peace grace this time with harmony.

Fly, bird of hope, and shine, light of love, and in
calm let all find tranquility.
