Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE BFBF GHGH| I found Thee in my heart O Lord | A |
| As in some secret shrine | B |
| I knelt I waited for Thy word | C |
| I joyed to name Thee mine | B |
| - | |
| I feared to give myself away | D |
| To that or this beside | E |
| Thy altar on my face I lay | D |
| And in strong need I cried | E |
| - | |
| Those hours are past Thou art not mine | B |
| And therefore I rejoice | F |
| I wait within no holy shrine | B |
| I faint not for the voice | F |
| - | |
| In Thee we live and every wind | G |
| Of heaven is Thine blown free | H |
| To west to east the God unshrined | G |
| Is still discovering me | H |
