Appropriate To A Sacrifice To King Wan

My offerings here are given,
  A ram, a bull.
  Accept them, mighty Heaven,
  All-bountiful.

  Thy statutes, O great king,
  I keep, I love;
  So on the realm to bring
  Peace from above.

  From Wan comes blessing rich;
  Now on the right
  He owns those gifts to which
  Him I invite.

  Do I not night and day,
  Revere great Heaven,
  That thus its favor may
  To Chow be given?
