EN 4853 O Throned, O Crowned with All Renown

1Cor.10.26

Versi Version 1

1

O throned, O crowned with all renown,

Since Thou the earth hast trod,

Thou reignest, and by Thee come down

Henceforth the gifts of God.

By Thee the suns of space, that burn

Unspent, their watches hold;

The hosts that turn, and still return

Are swayed, and poised, and rolled.

2

The powers of earth, for all her ills,

An endless treasure yield;

The precious things of ancient hills,

Forest, and fruitful field;

Thine is the health, and Thine the wealth

That in our halls abound;

And Thine the beauty and the joy

With which the years are crowned.

3

And as, when ebbed the flood, our sires

Kneeled on the mountain sod,

While o’er the new world’s altar fires

Shone out the bow of God;

And sweetly fell the peaceful spell—

Word that shall aye avail—

“Summer and winter shall not cease,

Seed time nor harvest fail”;

4

Thus in their change let frost and heat

And winds and dew be giv’n;

All fostering power, all influence sweet,

Breathe from the bounteous Heav’n.

Attemper fair with gentle air

The sunshine and the rain,

That kindly earth with timely birth

May yield her fruits again;

5

That we may feed Thy poor aright,

And, gathering round Thy throne,

Here in the holy angels’ sight

Repay Thee of Thine own.

For so our sires in olden time

Spared neither gold nor gear,

Nor precious wood, nor hewen stone,

Thy sacred shines to rear.

6

For there to give the second birth

In mysteries and signs,

The face of Christ o’er all the earth

On keeling myriads shines.

And if so fair beyond compare

Thine earthly houses be,

In how great grace shall we Thy face

In Thine own palace see?
