| This is the secret of all prayers | D |
| That in God's sight have worth | E |
| They must be uttered from the stairs | D |
| That wind away from earth | E |
| And he who mounts to speak the word | F |
| He shall be heard He shall be heard | F |
| - | |
| And he who will not leave himself | G |
| But stays down with his cares | D |
| Or with his thoughts of pride and pelf | G |
| Though loud and long his prayers | D |
| Beyond earth's dome of arching skies | H |
| They shall not rise They shall not rise | H |
| - | |
| Oh ye who seek for strength and power | I |
| Seek first some quiet spot | J |
| And fashion through a silent hour | I |
| Your stairway thought by thought | K |
| Then climb and pray to God on high | G |
| He shall reply He shall reply | G |
