Mithras, god of the Morning - our [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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
