This is the hymn to Hephaestus, the forge god and the husband to Aphrodite. Enjoy and I get this hymn from Perseus Digital Library.
Sing, clear-voiced Muse, of Hephaestus famed for inventions. With
bright-eyed Athena he taught men glorious crafts throughout the world,
—men who before used to dwell in caves in the mountains like wild
beasts.
[5]
But now that they have learned crafts through Hephaestus the famed
worker, easily they live a peaceful life in their own houses the whole
year round.
Be gracious, Hephaestus, and grant me success and prosperity!
