Plain text of Hymn Cviii
1 O God the Mighty, bring great strength to us, bring valour, O Satakratu, Thou most active; bring a hero conquering in war.
2 For, gracious Lord of a hundred powers, Thou hast ever been a mother and a sire to us; so now for bliss we pray to Thee.
3 To Thee, Strong, Much-invoked, who showest forth Thy strength, O Lord of a hundred powers, do I speak: so grant Thou us heroic might.
