Plain text of Book 7, Hymn 81

Forward and backward by their wondrous power move these two, sun and moon, round the ocean of air. One views all living things, and the other is born again, arranging times and seasons.

2 Thou art re-born for ever new, thou marchest, ensign of days, in forefront of the mornings. Marching thou markest the portions of time. Thou lengthenest, moon! the days of man's existence.

3 O God, all-perfect verily art Thou. Make me all-perfect in riches and in progeny.

4 May I be perfect, fully blest in every way in steeds and kine, in children, cattle, home, and wealth.

5 May we grow rich in steeds and kine, in children, cattle, houses, wealth.

6 May the All-Seeing, the Lord of Prayer, and the Mighty, the Lords and Guardians of the world, increase us.
