Navajo Prayer of the Twelfth Night

From CBC Q on May 23:

"Composer, conductor, and musician David Amram who brought jazz and folk influences into classical music."

Sounded a lot of positive notes. He mentioned something similar to this, from an earlier interview: "The Navajo Prayer of the Twelfth Night refers to being on a trail or path where all the beauty that surrounds us every day, the prayer of beauty above me, beauty beside me, on the trail of beauty, therefore I am."

Kind of woo-woo but positive. I Google'd for the text and did not find a specific match, but a number of Navajo prayers exist in a secular sense which seem to fit the bill.
