Plain text of Book The Seventh · Book 7, Hymn 92. God and the Wind, His Sign
1 O Lord, accepter of the pure, be near us: a thousand teams are Thine, All-bounteous Giver. To Thee the rapture-bringing gift is offered, whose first draught, O God, Thou takest as Thy portion. 2 Prompt at the holy rites forth came the presser with gifts for the Mighty and the wind, when ministering priests with strong devotion bring to You the first taste of the offering. 3 The teams wherewith Thou seekest him who offers, within his home, to direct him, therewith send wealth: to us with full enjoyment, a hero son and gifts of kine and horses. 4 Near to the righteous and making the faithful joyful, devout and offering precious gifts to Thee, allied with princes, smiting down the hostile, may we with heroes conquer foes in battle. 5 With Thy yoked teams in hundreds and in thousands come to our worship and solemn devotion. Come, make Thee glad at this thanksgiving. Preserve us evermore with blessings.
