Plain text of Hymn 13 God the Radiant
1 To the Radiant One, to this God of yours I sing aloud with utmost power. May He come to us with His angels, and sit, best of those worshipped, on the grass.
2 The Holy, whose are earth and heaven, and succour waits upon His strength;
Him men who bring offerings laud, and they who wish to gain, for grace.
3 He is the Sage who guides these men, Leader of sacred rites is He.
Him, your own Lord, serve ye well, who winneth and bestoweth wealth.
4 So may the gracious Lord grant most goodly shelter for our use;
Whence in the heavens or in the floods He shall pour wealth upon our lands.
5 The singers kindle Him, the Priest, the Lord of tribes of men,
Resplendent and without a peer through His own excellent designs.
6 Help us, Thou Knower, best of all who call on God in song.
Beam, Friend of the angels, bliss on us, O Radiant One, a most liberal God.
7 Yea, grant us treasure thousandfold with children and with nourishment,
And, O God, splendid hero strength, exalted, wasting not away.
