Plain text of Book 3, Hymn 24
1 The plants of earth are rich in milk, and rich in milk is this my word.
So from the rich in milk I bring thousandfold profit hitherward.
2 God, rich in blessing, I know. Abundant hath He made our corn.
God whose name is the Gatherer, Him we invoke.
3 All the five regions of the heavens, all the five peoples of mankind,—
As after rain the stream brings drift, let them bring increase hitherward.
4 Open the well with hundred streams, exhaustless, with a thousand streams,
So cause this corn of ours to be exhaustless, with a thousand streams.
5 O Thou of hundredfold bounty, gather up. O Thou of thousandfold bounty, pour Thou forth.
Bring hither increase of the corn prepared and yet to be prepared.
6 Three sheaves are for the poor and needy, the lady of the house hath four.
We touch thee with the sheaf that is the most abundant of them all.
7 Increase and Gathering are Thy two attendants, O God the Creator.
May they bring hither increase, wealth abundant, inexhaustible.
