I praise this God, Parent of heaven and earth, exceeding wise, possessed of real energy, giver of treasure, thinker dear to all,

2 whose splendour is sublime, whose light shone brilliant in creation, who, wise, and golden-handed, in His beauty made the sky.

3 As Thou, O God, quickening, for our ancient father, sentest him height above and room about him, so unto us, O Light-giver, send treasures, abundant, day by day, in shape of cattle.

4 God, the Light-giver, our household friend, most precious, has sent our fathers life and power and riches. Under His law even the wanderer travels.
