O accomplished Hou-ji, Thou didst prove thyself the correlate of Heaven; Thou didst give grain-food to our multitudes; - The immense gift of thy goodness. Thou didst confer on us the wheat and the barley, Which God appointed for the nourishment of all; And without distinction of territory or boundary, The rules of social duty were diffused throughout these great regions.

O accomplished Hou-ji,
Thou didst prove thyself the correlate of Heaven;
Thou didst give grain-food to our multitudes; -
The immense gift of thy goodness.
Thou didst confer on us the wheat and the barley,
Which God appointed for the nourishment of all;
And without distinction of territory or boundary,
The rules of social duty were diffused throughout these great regions.
