These houses, welfare-breeding, rich in sustaining strength, rich in milk, standing full by gracious good—may they acknowledge us as we draw nigh.

ഈ വീടുകൾ ക്ഷേമം ജനിപ്പിക്കുന്നവ, പോഷകശക്തിയാൽ സമ്പന്നം, പാലാൽ സമൃദ്ധം. കൃപാപൂർണമായ നന്മകൊണ്ട് നിറഞ്ഞുനിൽക്കുന്നവ—ഞങ്ങൾ സമീപിക്കുമ്പോൾ അവ ഞങ്ങളെ തിരിച്ചറിയട്ടെ.
