From the Sanskrit Anthology.
Ah, God! I have not had Thee day and night
In thought, nor magnified Thy name aright,
Nor lauded Thee, nor glorified, nor laid
Upon thine altars one poor kus̀a-blade!
Yet now, when I seek refuge, Lord! with Thee
I ask, and Thou wilt give all good to me!
In thought, nor magnified Thy name aright,
Nor lauded Thee, nor glorified, nor laid
Upon thine altars one poor kus̀a-blade!
Yet now, when I seek refuge, Lord! with Thee
I ask, and Thou wilt give all good to me!
I am of sinfulness and sorrows full!
Thou art the Mighty, Great, and Merciful!
How should we not be friends, or Thou not save
Me who bring nought to Thee Who all things gave?
Thou art the Mighty, Great, and Merciful!
How should we not be friends, or Thou not save
Me who bring nought to Thee Who all things gave?
