¶Lyrics / Text

''passages in square brackets are not included in the musical setting'' [Hark! from the towers of Aztlan how the shouts Of clamorous joy re-ring! the rocks and hills Take up the joyful sound, and o'er the lake Roll their slow echoes. --] <b>Thou art beautiful, Queen of the Valley! thou art beautiful! Thy walls, like silver, sparkle to the sun; Melodious wave thy groves; thy garden sweets Enrich the pleasant air; upon the lake Lie the long shadows of thy towers; and high In heaven thy temple-pyramids arise, </b>[Upon whose summit now, far visible Against the clear blue sky, the Cross of Christ Proclaims unto the nations round the news Of thy redemption. Thou art beautiful, Aztlan! O City of the Cymbric Prince!]<b> Long may'st thou flourish in thy beauty, long Prosper beneath the righteous conqueror, Who conquers to redeem! Long years of peace And happiness await thy Lord and thee, Queen of the Valley!</b>
