Plain text of Hymn 49 God the Mighty

1 Great is the Mighty One whom I will laud, in whom all people who give for His sake have attained their longing;

Whom, passing wise, heaven and earth engendered by His command, formed by a Master's hand, to crush the obstructors.

2 Whom, most heroic, borne by Tawny Coursers, verily none subdueth in the battle;

Who, reaching far, most vigorous, hath shortened the enemy's life with warriors bold of spirit.

3 Victor in fight, swift mover like a warhorse, pervading both worlds, rainer down of blessings,

To be invoked in war like the Bountiful, Father, as 'twere, of hymns, fair, prompt to hear, strength-giver.

4 Supporting heaven, the high back of the region, His car is the Wind with his team of the Sustainers.

Illumining the nights, the sun's Creator, He deals forth strength and riches.

5 Call we on the Bountiful, the auspicious Mighty One, best Hero in the fight where spoil is gathered;

The Strong, who listens, who gives aid in battles, who slays the obstructors, wins and gathers treasure.
