1 Bring song and hymn to God, slayer of the arrogant, enlightener of all and thought-bestower. Like an offering on the grass, to please Him, I bring this to the Lord of all mankind, hymn-inspirer.

2 Thou with Thy flame, O God, brightly glowing, hast at thy birth filled full the earth and heaven. Thou with Thy might, Lord of all mankind, settest the righteous free from the curse that bound them.

3 O God, when, born, Thou lookedst on all creatures, like a brisk herdsman moving round his cattle, the path to prayer, Lord of all mankind, Thou foundest. Preserve us evermore with blessings.
