The pilgrims’ hymns for Kegonji Temple (華厳寺) in Ibigawa, Gifu Prefecture, from a hymnal for the thirty-three temples of the western pilgrimage circuit dedicated to Kannon Bodhisattva (観音菩薩)

My own rough, tentative translation follows:

Number Thirty-Three: Mount Tanigumi Kegonji Temple (Tendai School) in Ibi District, Mino Province Tokuzumi, Tanigumi Village, Ibi County, Gifu Prefecture Hymns in reverent gratitude for grace and thankfulness for blessings to Eleven-Faced Kannon: Vows of countless years Have been pledged and sworn right here At Tanigumi, The temple where pure waters Trickle and flow from the moss As long as this sign Of the buddha who lights up The world remains here, Its guiding lamp shall never Waver nor be extinguished All along the way Relying on these pilgrims' cloaks Like parental care, We now offer them up here At Mino Tanigumi
