1.

Adore, adore ye all the happy day,
more blessed than heaven, sweeter than May,
when he appeared at Puri, the holy place,
my Lord and Master His Divine Grace.

2.

Oh! my Master the evangelic angel,
give us thy light, light up our candle.
Struggle for existence a human race,
the only hope, His Divine Grace.

3.

Misled we are, all going astray,
save us, O Lord, our fervent pray.
Wonder thy ways, to turn your face,
adore Thy feet, Your Divine Grace.

4.

Forgotten Krsna, we fallen souls
pay most heavy the illusion's toll.
Darkness around, all untrace,
the only hope, His Divine Grace.

5.

Message of service Thou hast brought,
a healthful life, as Caitanya wrought.
Unknown to all, it's full of brace,
that's your gift, Your Divine Grace.

6.

Absolute is sentient thou hast proved,
impersonal calamity thou hast removed.
This gives us a life, anew and fresh,
worship thy feet, Your Divine Grace.

7.

Had you not come, who had told
the message of Krsna forceful and bold?
That's your right, you have the mace,
save me, a fallen, Your Divine Grace.

8.

The line of service as drawn by you
is pleasing and healthy like morning dew.
The oldest of all but in new dress,
miracle done, Your Divine Grace.
