HYMN 11 Vata

1

May Vata breathe his balm on us, healthful, delightful to our heart:
May he prolong our days of life!

2

Thou art our father, Vata, yea, thou art our brother and our friend:
So give us strength that we may live!

3

The store of Amrit that laid away yonder, O Vata, in thine home--
Give us strength that we may live!
