Hymn to the Waters

Flowing from the firmament

Forth to the ocean,

Healing all in earth and air,

never halting.

Indra, Lord of Heav'n, 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, sovran Lord is He.

Onward ye waters onward

Cleansing waters flow ye on,

Hasten and help us.

Dance in the bright beams of the sun.

Cleansing waters flow ye on,

Obey the ruler of the sky

Who dug the path for you to run.

Flowing from the firmament

Forth to the ocean,

Healing all in earth and air,

never halting.

Indra, Lord of Heav'n, formed their courses

Indra's mighty laws can never be broken.

Cleansing waters flow ye on,

hasten and help us.
