Hymn to Indra by Gustav Holst — Lyrics

Gustav Holst English Secular Staff notation

Full Lyrics

Who is he of lofty power, guardian of the Gods? Who supports the heavens alone? He, O men is Indra! When the mountains shake with fear, when the earth is quaking, who is he that holds all fast? He, O men is Indra! When the dragon of drought has seized the clouds and rain like to kine he gathered them to his cave. Who was the hero that heard our prayers? Who was the warrior thunder armed? He, O men is Indra! Who rushed to the battlefield, wrathfully? Who with fierce resistless might charged the foe? Who was he who smote the fiend down to earth who with one blow slew him? He, O men is Indra! Who released the captive clouds, gave the dry land showers, made the rivers freely flow? He, O men is Indra! Who is he, the generous one who to those that worship giveth strength and victory? He, O men is Indra! Who is he whose name we call in the fight? Who doth make his worshippers conquerors? He the Bull, the mighty one, fierce and true, the thunderarmed, Lord of heaven and Chief of Gods, He, O men is Indra!
