Uplift a thousand voices full and sweetB
In this wide hall with earth's invention storedC
And praise the invisible universal LordC
Who lets once more in peace the nations meetB
Where Science Art and Labor have outpour'dB
Their myriad horns of plenty at our feetB

O silent father of our Kings to beD
Mourn'd in this golden hour of jubileeD
For this for all we weep our thanks to theeD

The world compelling plan was thineE
And lo the long laborious milesF
Of Palace lo the giant aislesF
Rich in model and designE
Harvest tool and husbandryD
Loom and wheel and engineryD
Secrets of the sullen mineE
Steel and gold and corn and wineE
Fabric rough or fairy fineE
Sunny tokens of the LineE
Polar marvels and a feastB
Of wonder out of West and EastB
And shapes and hues of Art divineE
All of beauty all of useG
That one fair planet can produceG
Brought from under every starD
Blown from over every mainH
And mixt as life is mixt with painH
The works of peace with works of warD

Is the goal so far awayJ
Far how far no tongue can sayJ
Let us dream our dream to dayJ

-
O ye the wise who think the wise who reignH
From growing Commerce loose her latest chainH
And let the fair white wing'd peacemaker flyA
To happy havens under all the skyA
And mix the seasons and the golden hoursK
Till each man find his own in all men's goodB
And all men work in noble brotherhoodB
Breaking their mailed fleets and armed towersK
And ruling by obeying Nature's powersK
And gathering all the fruits of earth and crown'dB
-
with all her flowersK
