HYMN I

An accompaniment to the offering of a Mixt Oblation

1Let the streams flow together, let the winds and birds assembled
   come.
  Strengthen this sacrifice of mine, ye singers. I offer up a duly
   mixt oblation.
2O Burnt Oblations, aid, and ye, Blent Offerings, this my
   sacrifice.
  Strengthen this sacrifice of mine, ye singers. I offer up a duly
   mixt oblation.
3Each several form, each several force I seize, and compass round
   this man.
  May the Four Quarters strengthen this my sacrifice. I offer up a
   duly mixt oblation.
