Lord of Justice

For the administration of justice,
For setting forth the days of the calendar,
Light of the World, Glory of the Heavens,
For ensuring the righteous fate of the people and the nations,
For illuminating the way to Truth,
Lord Utu, may you ever be crowned by radiance.
May your decrees be bestowed upon the Land.
May your people be led to wise decision, and ever to honour truth and equity.
Lord Utu - it is right to praise you!
