Plain text of Hymn 14 God the Radiant

1 The pleasant Priest is come into the assembly, true, skilled in worship, most wise, Ordainer.

The Radiant One, the Son of Strength, whose car is lightning, whose hair is flame, hath shown on earth His lustre.

2 To Thee I offer reverent speech: accept it: to Thee who markest it, victorious, faithful!

Bring, Thou who knowest, those who know, and seat Thee amid the sacred grass, for help, O Holy.

3 The Two who show their vigour, Night and Morning, by the wind's paths shall haste to Thee, O God.

When men adorn the Ancient with offerings, these seek, as on two chariot-seats, the dwelling.

4 To Thee, strong Radiant One, the All-Seeing, the Friend, and all the angels sang a song of triumph,

What time unto the people's lands Thou camest, spreading them, as the sun of men, with lustre.

5 Approaching with raised hands and adoration, we have this day fulfilled for Thee Thy longing.

Worship God with most devoted spirit, a Priest with no unfriendly thought, O Radiant One.

6 For, Son of Strength, from Thee come many succours, and powers abundant that a God possesses.

O God, to us with speech that hath no falsehood grant riches, real, to be told in thousands.

7 Whatever, O God, in worship we mortals have wrought is all for Thee, strong, wise of purpose!

Be Thou the Friend of each good chariot's master. All this accept Thou here, Immortal One.
