Plain text of Book 20, Hymn 1
Thee, O God the Mighty, we invoke, the Strong, what time the offering of pressed juice hath been made. Accept the sweetly-flavoured gift.
2 The best of guardians hath the man in whose dwelling-place Thy servants, the angels of the storm, giants of the sky, bear witness.
3 Let us serve God the Radiant with our hymns, the Sage, to whom our offerings are devoted.
