Plain text of Book 20, Hymn 8

Accept as of old our offering, and let it delight Thee: hear Thou my prayer and let our songs exalt Thee. Make the sun visible, make food abundant: overthrow the foes, pierce through the cloud and free the rain.

2 Come to us in mercy; they have called Thee the Lover of the grateful. Here is the pressed juice offered for Thy sake. Widely-capacious, hear us when invoked, Most Merciful.

3 Full is the cup of offering, blessing! Like a pourer I have filled up the vessel for Thy sake. Presented on the right, dear juices, offered in God's name, we bring in thanks.
