Suprabhatham in English

Eshwaramba’s Resplendent Son

It’s the start of a bright new day

Time to rise, time to shine, Lord Divine

Time to lead us along life’s way

Awake, Lord of Puttaparthi

Awake, O Lord of all mankind

Awake, O Lord of compassion

That the world good fortune may find

On Chithravathi’s peaceful shore stands our hearts’ own mansion

We yearn to serve You and are longing for Your darshan

Morning’s begun and o’er the world spreads the radiant sun

Sri Sathya Sai Bhagawan, may Your glory now dawn

We love to sing Your sweet name with blissful emotion

We taste the sweet nectar that comes of true devotion

Come shower drops of blessings on us, we pray Gracious One

Sri Sathya Sai Bhagawan, may Your glory now dawn

We’ve brought to You colorful flowers with fragrance so sweet

Our dear Guru, our object now is to worship Your feet

Your devotees are gathered into the place where we meet

Sri Sathya Sai Bhagawan, may Your glory now dawn

Among the seekers of the world knowledge that You’re here grew

From far and near people are coming who long to see You

They are reciting Vedic mantras knowing their value

Sri Sathya Sai Bhagawan, may Your glory now dawn

Throughout the Earth people of worth are learning of Your fame

They know Your glory and the sweet story of why You came

Seekers of Truth from every land now are singing Your name

Sri Sathya Sai Bhagawan, may Your glory now dawn

Women demure as Mother Sita now sing in rapture

Like lotus blooms drawn to the light their hearts are soft and pure

With garlands of sweet flowers they will adorn Your picture

Sri Sathya Sai Bhagawan, may Your glory now dawn

Whoever sings this waking chant

Sings it faithfully every day

Great peace to you the Lord will grant

And the wisdom for which we pray

Oh Auspicious Divine Teacher

Oh Auspicious All Seeing Eye

Oh Auspicious Lord of Parthi

Oh Auspicious Sri Sathya Sai
