| Philip my king | B |
| Round whom the enshadowing purple lies | A |
| Of babyhood's royal dignities | A |
| Lay on my neck thy tiny hand | C |
| With love's invisible scepter laden | D |
| I am thine Esther to command | C |
| Till thou shalt find a queen handmaiden | D |
| Philip my king | B |
| - | |
| O the day when thou goest a wooing | B |
| Philip my king | B |
| When those beautiful lips are suing | B |
| And some gentle heart's bars undoing | B |
| Thou dost enter love crowned and there | E |
| Sittest love glorified Rule kindly | F |
| Tenderly over thy kingdom fair | E |
| For we that love ah we love so blindly | F |
| Philip my king | B |
| - | |
| Up from thy sweet mouth up to thy brow | G |
| Philip my king | B |
| The spirit that there lies sleeping now | G |
| May rise like a giant and make men bow | G |
| As to one heaven chosen among his peers | A |
| My Saul than thy brethren taller and fairer | H |
| Let me behold thee in future years | A |
| Yet thy head needeth a circlet rarer | H |
| Philip my king | B |
| - | |
| A wreath not of gold but palm One day | I |
| Philip my king | B |
| Thou too must tread as we trod a way | I |
| Thorny and cruel and cold and gray | I |
| Rebels within thee and foes without | J |
| Will snatch at thy crown But march on glorious | A |
| Martyr yet monarch till angels shout | J |
| As thou sittest at the feet of God victorious | A |
| 'Philip the king ' | - |
