O Thou, to whom, in an­cient time,
I live to hail the sea­son,
This beau­ti­ful val­ley, clad in green,
For lo! the days are hast­en­ing on,
A long and bright ar­ray
Crown Him, mon­archs, seers, and sag­es!

Whom kings ad­ored in song sub­lime,
When men shall live by rea­son,

Proclaimed the glo­ri­ous day:
Crown Him king of all the ag­es!
