Alt.

Jesus, crowned with all renown,

Since thou the earth hast trod,

Thou reignest, and by thee come down

Henceforth the gifts of God.

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.

Lord, in their change, let frost and heat,

And winds and dews be given;

All fostering power, all influence sweet,

Breathe from the bounteous heaven.

Attemper fair with gentle air

The sunshine and the rain,

That kindly earth with timely birth

May yield her fruits again:

That we may feed the poor aright,

And, gathering round thy throne,

Here, in the holy angels' sight,

Repay thee of thine own:

That we may praise thee all our days,

And with the Father's Name,

And with the Holy Spirit's gifts,

The Savior's love proclaim.

Amen.
