[Crown the year with Thy goodness, Lord!]

Crown the year with Thy goodness, Lord!
And make every hour a gem
In the living diadem,
That sparkles to Thy praise.
Crown the year with Thy grace, O Lord!
Be Thy fresh anointings shed
On Thy waiting servant's head,
Who treads Thy royal ways.
Crown the year with Thy glory, Lord!
Let the brightness and the glow
Of its heavenly overflow
Crown Thy beloved's days!
