Plain text of Hymn 12 God the Mighty and God the Radiant

1 Moved, O Mighty and Radiant One, by our hymn, come to the precious gift: partake of it, impelled by song.

2 O Mighty and Radiant One, with the man who lauds You comes the wakening rite:

So accept this offering assured.

3 Through force of devotion I choose the Mighty and the Radiant who love the wise:

With the provision given for Your sake let these be satisfied here.

4 The Mighty and the Radiant I invoke, joint-victors, bounteous, unsubdued,

Foe-slayers, best to win the spoil.

5 O Mighty and Radiant One, singers skilled in melody hymn You, bringing lauds:

I choose You for the sacred food.

6 O Mighty and Radiant One, You cast down the ninety forts which the enemies held,

Together, with one mighty deed.

7 To the Mighty and the Radiant reverent thoughts go forward from the holy task

Along the path of sacred Law.

8 O Mighty and Radiant One, powers are Yours, and dwellings and delightful food:

Good is Your readiness to act.

9 O Mighty and Radiant One, in Your deeds of might You deck heaven's lucid realms:

Famed is that hero strength of Yours.
