1 Enkindling the Immortal, wake Him with song of praise: may He bear our offerings to the righteous.

2 At high solemnities mortal men glorify Him the Immortal, best at worship among mankind.

3 That He may bear their gifts to heaven, all glorify Him, God, with ladle that distilleth oil.

4 He shone bright when kindled, with light killing the enemies and the dark: He found the kine, the floods, the sun.

5 Serve God, the Adorable, the Sage whose back is honoured with oil: let Him approach, and hear my call.

6 They have exalted the God of all mankind, with oil and hymns of praise, devout and eloquent.
