1 Sing ye aloud, O friends, to him who makes him pure for gladdening drink:

They shall make sweet the Child with worship and laud.

2 Like as a calf with mother cows, so the pure drop is urged forth and sent,

Glorified by our hymns, the juice that delights the righteous.

3 Effectual means of power is he, he is a banquet for the troop,

He who hath been poured out, most rich in sweetness, for the righteous.

4 Flow to us, passing strong, poured out, with wealth of kine and steeds:

I will spread forth above the milk thy radiant hue.

5 Lord of the tawny, thou who art the most special food of the righteous,

As friend to friend, for splendour be thou good to men.

6 Drive utterly, far away from us each godless, each voracious foe.

Overcome and drive the false afar.
