Battle Hymn by Gustav Holst — Lyrics

King of the earth and ruler of heav'n, Greatest of helpers, fearfullest of foes. Indra and Maruts fight for us! Lord of all heroes, Great God of war Chief of the strong ones terrible in wrath! Indra and Maruts fight for us! Ye too O stormclouds follow his path Comrades in glory, Conquerors in fight! Indra and Maruts fight for us! Now to our aid he rides like the wind, Chariot and horses thunder on their way. Indra and Maruts fight for us! Hark to his voice that rings thro' the sky See how the earth doth tremble at the sound. Indra and Maruts fight for us! And in reply our warsong we raise Lips of a thousand warriors now cry Indra and Maruts fight for us!
