1 Thee, O Radiant God, Imperial Lord of all mankind, do mortal men with understanding kindle at the worship.

2 They laud Thee in their solemn rites, O Radiant One, as Minister and Priest;

Shine forth in Thine own home as guardian of the Law.

3 He, verily, who honours Thee with devotion, Knower of all life,

He, O God, wins heroic might, he prospers well.

4 Ensign of worship, He, the Radiant One, with the angels is come to us,

Honoured by the seven priests, to him who bringeth gifts.

5 To the Radiant One, the Invoking Priest, offer your best, your lofty speech,

To Him, Ordainer-like, who brings the light of songs.

6 Let these our hymns make His praise grow, whence, meet for laud, He springs to life,

To mighty strength and great possession, fair to see.

7 Best of those worshipped, bring the angels, O God, to the pious man:

A joyful Priest, let Thy splendour drive our foes afar.

8 As such, O Purifier, shine on us heroic glorious might:

Be nearest Friend to those who laud Thee, for their weal.

9 So, wakeful, versed in sacred hymns, the holy singers kindle Thee,

Bearer of gifts, deathless, cherisher of strength.
