Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CBCCB DBDDB EBEEB FBFG HBHHB| AH little Grace of the golden locks | A |
| The hills rise fair on the shores of Clyde | B |
| As the merry waves wear out these rocks | A |
| She wears my heart out glides past and mocks | A |
| But heaven's gate ever stands open wide | B |
| - | |
| The boat goes softly along along | C |
| Like a river of life glows the amber Clyde | B |
| Her voice floats near me like angel's song | C |
| Ah sweet love death but thy pangs are strong | C |
| Though heaven's gate ever stands open wide | B |
| - | |
| We walk by the shore and the stars shine bright | D |
| But coldly above the solemn Clyde | B |
| Her arm touches mine her laugh rings light | D |
| ONE hears my silence His merciful night | D |
| Hides me Can heaven be open wide | B |
| - | |
| I ever was but a dreamer Grace | E |
| As the gray hills watch o'er the sunny Clyde | B |
| Standing afar each in his place | E |
| I watch your young life's beautiful race | E |
| Apart until heaven be opened wide | B |
| - | |
| And sometimes when in the twilight balm | F |
| The hills grow purple along the Clyde | B |
| The waves flow softly and very calm | F |
| I hear all nature sing this one psalm | G |
| That 'heaven's gate ever stands open wide ' | - |
| - | |
| So happy Grace with your spirit free | H |
| Laugh on life is sweet on the banks of Clyde | B |
| This is no blame unto thee or me | H |
| Only God saw it could not be | H |
| Therefore His heaven stands open wide | B |
