Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEF GGHIIHDDJKKEEF LLKKMMNNHHDDJEEF| So in the sinful streets abstracted and alone | A |
| I with my secret self held communing of mine own | A |
| So in the southern city spake the tongue | B |
| Of one that somewhat overwildly sung | B |
| But in a later hour I sat and heard | C |
| Another voice that spake another graver word | C |
| Weep not it bade whatever hath been said | D |
| Though He be dead He is not dead | D |
| In the true creed | E |
| He is yet risen indeed | E |
| Christ is yet risen | F |
| - | |
| Weep not beside His tomb | G |
| Ye women unto whom | G |
| He was great comfort and yet greater grief | H |
| Nor ye ye faithful few that wont with Him to roam | I |
| Seek sadly what for Him ye left go hopeless to your home | I |
| Nor ye despair ye sharers yet to be of their belief | H |
| Though He be dead He is not dead | D |
| Nor gone though fled | D |
| Not lost though vanished | J |
| Though He return not though | K |
| He lies and moulders low | K |
| In the true creed | E |
| He is yet risen indeed | E |
| Christ is yet risen | F |
| - | |
| Sit if ye will sit down upon the ground | L |
| Yet not to weep and wail but calmly look around | L |
| Whate'er befel | K |
| Earth is not hell | K |
| Now too as when it first began | M |
| Life is yet life and man is man | M |
| For all that breathe beneath the heaven's high cope | N |
| Joy with grief mixes with despondence hope | N |
| Hope conquers cowardice joy grief | H |
| Or at least faith unbelief | H |
| Though dead not dead | D |
| Not gone though fled | D |
| Not lost though vanished | J |
| In the great gospel and true creed | E |
| He is yet risen indeed | E |
| Christ is yet risen | F |
