Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFAF GAGA HIHI JGJG KIKI LMLM NONO IPIQ RKRK SGSG| Eternal Power of earth and air | A |
| Unseen yet seen in all around | B |
| Remote but dwelling everywhere | A |
| Though silent heard in every sound | B |
| If e'er thine ear in mercy bent | C |
| When wretched mortals cried to Thee | D |
| And if indeed Thy Son was sent | C |
| To save lost sinners such as me | D |
| - | |
| Then hear me now while kneeling here | E |
| I lift to thee my heart and eye | F |
| And all my soul ascends in prayer | A |
| Oh give me give me Faith I cry | F |
| - | |
| Without some glimmering in my heart | G |
| I could not raise this fervent prayer | A |
| But oh a stronger light impart | G |
| And in Thy mercy fix it there | A |
| - | |
| While Faith is with me I am blest | H |
| It turns my darkest night to day | I |
| But while I clasp it to my breast | H |
| I often feel it slide away | I |
| - | |
| Then cold and dark my spirit sinks | J |
| To see my light of life depart | G |
| And every fiend of Hell methinks | J |
| Enjoys the anguish of my heart | G |
| - | |
| What shall I do if all my love | K |
| My hopes my toil are cast away | I |
| And if there be no God above | K |
| To hear and bless me when I pray | I |
| - | |
| If this be vain delusion all | L |
| If death be an eternal sleep | M |
| And none can hear my secret call | L |
| Or see the silent tears I weep | M |
| - | |
| Oh help me God For thou alone | N |
| Canst my distracted soul relieve | O |
| Forsake it not it is thine own | N |
| Though weak yet longing to believe | O |
| - | |
| Oh drive these cruel doubts away | I |
| And make me know that Thou art God | P |
| A faith that shines by night and day | I |
| Will lighten every earthly load | Q |
| - | |
| If I believe that Jesus died | R |
| And waking rose to reign above | K |
| Then surely Sorrow Sin and Pride | R |
| Must yield to Peace and Hope and Love | K |
| - | |
| And all the blessed words He said | S |
| Will strength and holy joy impart | G |
| A shield of safety o'er my head | S |
| A spring of comfort in my heart | G |
