Plain text of Book The Seventh · Book 7, Hymn 100. God the All-Pervading

1 Ne'er doth the man repent, who, seeking profit, bringeth his gift for the sake of the far-striding God.

He who adoreth Him with all his spirit winneth himself so great a benefactor.

2 Thou, O All-Pervading, constant in Thy courses, gavest good-will to all men, and a hymn that lasteth,

That Thou mightst move us to abundant comfort of very splendid wealth with store of horses.

3 Three times strode forth this God in all His grandeur over this earth bright with a hundred splendours.

Foremost be He, stronger than the strongest: for glorious is His name who lives for ever.

4 Over this earth with mighty step strode He, ready to give it for a home to man.

In Him the humble people trust for safety: He, nobly born, hath made them spacious dwellings.

5 To-day I laud this name, O Radiant One, I, skilled in rules, the name of Thee the Noble.

Yea, I the poor and weak praise Thee the Mighty who dwellest in the realm beyond this region.

7 O God, unto Thee my lips cry Hail! Let this mine offering, O Radiant One, please Thee.

May these my songs of eulogy exalt Thee. Preserve us evermore with blessings.
