Ah,
Lord! I worship Thee, the Undivided, The Uttermost of thought, The
Treasure-Palace wrought To hold the wealth of the worlds; the Shield
provided To shelter Virtue's
laws; The Fount whence Life's stream draws All waters of all rivers
of all being: The One Unborn, Unending: Unchanging and Unblending!
With might and majesty, past thought, past seeing!
Silver of moon and gold Of sun are glories rolled From Thy great
eyes; Thy visage, beaming tender Throughout the stars and skies,
Doth to warm life surprise Thy Universe. The worlds are filled with
wonder
Of Thy perfections! Space Star-sprinkled,
and void place From pole to pole of the Blue, from bound to bound,
Hath Thee in every spot, Thee, Thee!- Where Thou art not, O Holy,
Marvellous Form! is nowhere found!
O Mystic, Awful One! At sight of Thee,
made known, The Three Worlds quake; the lower gods draw nigh Thee;
They fold their palms, and bow Body, and breast, and brow, And,
whispering worship, laud and magnify Thee!
Rishis and Siddhas cry "Hail!
Highest Majesty! From sage and singer breaks the hymn of glory In
dulcet harmony, Sounding the praise of Thee; While countless
companies take up the story, Rudras, who ride the storms,
Th' Adityas' shining forms, Vasus and
Sadhyas, Viswas, Ushmapas; Maruts, and those great Twins
The heavenly, fair, Aswins, Gandharvas, Rakshasas,
Siddhas, and Asuras,-
