Plain text of Hymn 46 God the Mighty
1 Of Thee, the Bull, the Warrior, Sovereign Ruler, joyous and fierce, ancient and ever youthful,
The undecaying One who wields the thunder, renowned and great, great are the exploits, O Mighty One.
2 Great art Thou, Mighty Lord, through manly vigour, O fierce One, gathering spoil, subduing others,
Thyself alone the universe's Sovereign: so send forth men to combat and to rest them.
3 He hath surpassed all measure in His brightness, yea, and the angels, for none may be His equal.
The Mighty One in His might exceedeth wide vast mid-air and heaven and earth together.
4 To the Mighty One, even as rivers to the ocean, flow forth from days of old the gifts of provision;
To Him wide, deep and mighty from His birth-time, the well of holy thoughts, all-comprehending.
5 The provision, O Mighty One, which the earth and heaven bear for Thee as a mother bears her infant,
This they send forth to Thee, this, vigorous Hero! The attendants purify for Thee to receive.
