I. Hymn to the Dawn
Hear our hymn, O Goddess,
Rich in wealth and wisdom,
Ever young yet ancient,
True to Law Eternal.
Wakener of the songbirds,
Ensign of the Eternal,
Draw thou near, O Fair One
In thy radiant Chariot.
Bring to her your offering;
Humbly bow before her:
Raise your songs of welcome
As she comes in splendor.

II. Hymn to the Waters
Flowing from the firmament forth to the ocean,
Healing all in earth and air, never halting.
Indra, Lord of Heaven formed their courses,
Indra’s mighty laws can never be broken.
Cleansing waters flow ye on, hasten and help us.
Lo, in the waters, dwelleth One,
Knower of all on earth and sea,
Whose dread command no man may shun,
Varuna, sovereign Lord is He.
Onward, ye waters, onward hie,
Dance in the bright beams of the sun,
Obey the ruler of the sky
Who dug the path for you to run.
Flowing from the firmament…
