Plain text of Hymn 37 God the Mighty

1 O Mighty One, for the strength that slays the obstructor and conquers in the fight,

We turn Thee hitherward to us.

2 O Mighty One, Lord of Hundred Powers, may those who praise Thee hitherward

Direct Thy spirit and Thine eye.

3 O Mighty One, Lord of Hundred Powers, with all our songs we invocate

Thy names for triumph over foes.

4 We strive for glory through the powers immense of Him whom many praise,

Of the Mighty One who supports mankind.

5 For the obstructor's slaughter I address the Mighty One whom many invocate,

To win us booty in the wars.

6 In battles be victorious. We seek Thee, Lord of Hundred Powers,

O Mighty One, that the obstructor may be slain.

7 In splendid combats of the hosts, in glories where the fight is won,

O Mighty One, be victor over foes.

8 Accept our gift for our help, bright, vigilant, exceeding strong,

O Mighty One, Lord of Hundred Powers.

9 O Lord of Hundred Powers, the powers which Thou mid the Five Races hast displayed,

These, O Mighty One, do I claim of Thee.

10 O Mighty One, great glory hast Thou gained. Win splendid fame which none may mar.

We make Thy might perpetual.

11 Come to us either from anear, or, O Powerful One, come from far away.

O Mighty One, wherever be Thy home, come to us thence, O Thunder-armed.
