Plain text of Book 19, Hymn 55

Bringing, as 'twere, with care unceasing fodder night after night to feed this stabled courser, joying in food and in the growth of riches, may we, Thy neighbours, O God, ne'er be injured.

2 Here is our own desire for wealth: through this be gracious unto us. Joying in food and in the growth of riches, may we, Thy neighbours, O God, ne'er be injured.

3 Each eve that comes, God is the Lord of our household, showing His loving-kindness every morning. Bestow upon us treasure after treasure: kindling the fire for Thy sake, may we increase our offerings.

4 Each morn that comes, God is the Lord of our household, showing His loving-kindness every evening. Vouchsafe us treasure after treasure: kindling the fire for Thy sake, may we prosper through a hundred winters.

5 Never may I come short of food to feed me. Glory to God, the Lord of food!

6 Protect my company, protect its courteous members, courteous God! Only through Thee, O much-invoked, may I be ever rich in kine.

7 Only to Thee bringing our tribute, O God, each day as fodder to a stabled courser, joying in food and in the growth of riches, may we, Thy neighbours, ne'er be injured.
