- Verse 1
- All beautiful the march of days,
- As seasons come and go;
- The hand that shaped the rose hath wrought
- The crystal of the snow;
- Hath sent the hoary frost of heaven,
- The flowing waters sealed,
- And laid a silent loveliness
- On hill and wood and field.
- Verse 2
- O’er white expanses, sparkling pure,
- The radiant morns unfold;
- The solemn splendors of the night
- Burn brighter through the cold:
- Life mounts in every throbbing vein,
- Love deepens round the hearth,
- And clearer sounds the angel hymn,
Good will to all on earth.
- Verse 3
- O God, from whose unfathomed Law
- The year in beauty flows,
- Thyself the vision passing by
- In crystal and in rose:
- Day unto day shall utter speech,
- And night to night proclaim,
- In ever changing words of light,
- The wonder of Thy name.
