“Adore Adore Ye All” is a famous and most beautiful devotional poem that I have put to music. This poem was written back in 1935 or 1936 by my spiritual master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada as an offering of love and devotion to his spiritual master, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur.

Lyrics by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
Music by Sankarshan Das
Adore adore ye all the happy day.
Blessed than heaven, sweeter than May.
When He appeared at Puri, the holy place,
My Lord and Master, His Divine Grace.
Oh! my Master, the evangelic angel
Give us Thy light, lite up Thy candle.
Struggle for existence, a human race.
The only hope, His Divine Grace.
Misled we are, all going astray,
Save us Lord, our fervent pray.
Wonder Thy ways to turn our face
Adore Thy feet, Your Divine Grace
Forgotten Krishna, we fallen souls,
Paying most heavy the illusion’s toll.
Darkness around, all untrace.
The only hope, His Divine Grace.
Message of service, thou hast brought.
A healthful life as Chaitanya wrought.
Unknown to all it’s full of brace.
That’s your gift, Your Divine Grace.
Absolute is sentient thou hast proved,
Impersonal calamity thou hast moved.
This gives us a life anew and fresh,
Worship thy feet, Your Divine Grace.
Had you not come who had told
The message of Krishna forceful and bold.
That’s your right. You have the mace.
Save me a fallen, Your Divine Grace.
The line of service as drawn by you,
Is pleasing and healthy like morning dew.
The oldest of all but in new-dress
Miracle done, Your Divine Grace.
