O All-Gods, hear us now as the dawn doth break. We lift to you the soma cup, the butter poured upon the fire.

The morning light spreadeth across the earth. The birds do sing; the creatures wake. All things in heaven and earth do turn their face toward thee.

Ye gods of old, ye gods of now, ye gods who shall be forevermore—accept this rite that we have made with purified and reverent hands.

The grass hath been laid out; the fire is bright. The waters flow; the winds do blow. All nature joineth in this song, this great and wondrous hymn of praise.

O Indra, thou art strong and bold; O Agni, thou art wise and pure. O Soma, thou art sweet and good. O Vayu, thou art life itself.

The mountains stand; the sky is high; the ocean stretcheth far and wide. All these obey thy will, O Gods, and answer to thy call.

The men do gather; the women sing. The children play around our feet. The whole community doth bow before thy mighty throne.

From the beginning until the end of time, thy power shall prevail. No force can overcome thee; no wisdom can resist thy will.

So grant to us this day thy blessings—health and strength and peace of mind. Grant us good fortune in our work; grant us success in all we do.

And at the end of all our days, when we must pass beyond the veil, we pray that we shall dwell with thee in that eternal realm of light.
