1 Chasing our pain with splendid light, O God the Radiant, shine wealth on us.

May His light flash our pain away!

2 For goodly fields, for pleasant homes, for wealth we worship Thee.

May His light flash our pain away!

3 Best praiser of all these be he, and foremost be our noble chiefs.

May His light flash our pain away!

4 So that Thy worshippers and we, Thy servants, O God, in our sons may live.

May His light flash our pain away!

5 As the beams of God's splendour go to every side,

May His light flash our pain away!

6 To every side Thy gaze is turned, Thou art triumphant everywhere.

May His light flash our pain away!

7 O Thou whose gaze embraces every side, bear off our foes as in a ship.

May His light flash our pain away!

8 As in a ship across the flood, transport us to felicity.

May His light flash our pain away!
