ആത്മാവേ ഊതുക

Representative Text

1 ആത്മാവേ ഊതുക
നൽ ജീവൻ നിറയ്ക്ക
നിൻ സ്നേഹതുല്ല്യം സ്നേഹിപ്പാൻ
നിന്നിഷ്ടം ചെയ്തീടാൻ

2 ആത്മാവേ ഊതുക
ശുദ്ധി ചെയ്കെന്നെ നീ
നിന്നിൽ ചേർന്നു നാമൊന്നായി
കഷ്ടം സഹിച്ചീടാൻ

3 ആത്മാവേ ഊതുക
എൻ ദേഹിയെ ചേർക്ക
മർത്യമാം ദേഹം നിന്നിലായ്
വിളങ്ങി ശോഭിപ്പാൻ

4 ആത്മാവേ ഊതുക
മരണം കാണാതെ
ശുദ്ധനായ് നാൾകൾ ജീവിച്ചു
നിൻ കൂടെ വാഴുവാൻ
