HYMN C

HYMN C 1. Now have we, Indra, Friend of Song, sent our great wishes    forth to thee.   Coming like floods that follow floods. 2. As rivers swell the ocean, so, Hero, our prayers increase thy    might,   Though of thyself, O Thunderer, waxing day by day. 3. With holy song they bind to the broad wide-yoked car the bay    steeds of the rapid God,   Bearers of India, yoked by prayer.
