Mithras, god of the Morning - our trumpets waken the world Rome is above the nations, but Thou art over all
Now as the names are answered and the guards are marched away Mithras, also a soldier, give us strength for the day!
Mithras, god of the Noontide - the ether swims in the heat Our helmets scorch our foreheads, our sandals burn our feet Now in the ungirt hour, now as we blink and drowse Mithras, also a soldier, keep us true to our vows!
Mithras, Lord of Ages, below You we march! Invincible Sun, the flame of Life, You dwell within our hearts
Mithras, god of the Sunset - low on the western main Thou descending immortal, immortal to rise again Now as the watch has ended, now as the wine is drawn Mithras, also a soldier, keep us pure till the dawn!
Mithras, lord of the Midnight - here where the great bull dies Look at Thy children in darkness, oh take our sacrifice Many roads Thou hast fashioned, all of them lead to the light Mithras, also a soldier, teach us to die aright!
Mithras, Lord of Ages, below You we march! Invincible Sun, the flame of Life, You dwell within our hearts
Mithras, Lord of Ages, below You we march! Unconquerable Sun, the flame of Life, You dwell within our hearts
