1 High hath the Mighty risen before the dawning, and come to us with light from out the darkness.

The Radiant One with white-shining splendour hath filled at birth all human habitations.

2 Thou, being born, art a sign for Earth and Heaven, parted among the plants in beauty.

The glooms of night thou, Brilliant Babe, subduest, and art come forth, loud roaring, from thy mothers.

3 Here, being manifested, the All-Pervading in knowledge, full wise, protects his own supremest station.

When they have offered in his mouth their sweet milk, to him with one accord they sing forth praises.

4 Thence bearing food the mothers come to meet thee, with food for thee who givest food its increase.

Thou art the Invoker in the homes of mortals.

5 Leader of the holy rite, with car that glitters, refulgent banner of each act of worship,

Sharing every blessing through might and glory, even the Guest of men I summon hither.

6 So the Radiant One stands on earth's most central station, invested in well-decorated garments.

Born, red of hue, where men pour out offerings, O King, as great High Priest bring the righteous hither.

7 Over the earth and over heaven, thou hast ever spread above thy parents.

Come, Youthfullest, to those who long to meet thee, and hither bring the righteous, O Mighty Victor.
