| Man rising to the doom that shall not err | B |
| Which hath most dread the arouse of all or each | C |
| All kindreds of all nations of all speech | C |
| Or one by one of him and him and her | D |
| While dust reanimate begins to stir | D |
| Here there beyond beyond reach beyond reach | C |

| Bless d that flock safe penned in Paradise | H |
| Bless d this flock which tramps in weary ways | I |
| All form one flock God's flock all yield Him praise | I |
| By joy or pain still tending toward the prize | J |
| Joy speaks in praises there and sings and flies | J |
| Where no night is exulting all its days | I |
| Here pain finds solace for behold it prays | I |
| In both love lives the life that never dies | J |
| Here life is the beginning of our death | K |
| And death the starting point whence life ensues | L |
| Surely our life is death our death is life | M |
| Nor need we lay to heart our peace or strife | M |
| But calm in faith and patience breathe the breath | K |
| God gave to take again when He shall choose | L |
