| Nor even in dreams behold how dark and bright | B |
| Ascends in smoke and fire by day and night | B |
| The hate you died to quench and could but fan | C |
| Sleep well and see no morning son of man | C |

| But if the grave rent and the stone rolled by | D |
| At the right hand of majesty on high | D |
| You sit and sitting so remember yet | E |
| Your tears your agony and bloody sweat | E |
| Your cross and passion and the life you gave | F |
| Bow hither out of heaven and see and save | F |
