Plain text of Book 7, Hymn 89
The heavenly waters have I ranged: we have been sated with their dew. Here, O God, bearing milk, am I. Endow me with the gift of strength.
2 Endow me with the gift of strength, with children, and a lengthened life. May the righteous mark this prayer of mine.
3 Ye waters, wash away this stain and whatsoever taint be here, each sinful wrong that I have done and every harmless curse of mine.
4 Thou art the wood, may I succeed! fuel, may I be glorified! splendour, give splendour unto me.
