When Reason with a scornful brow | A |
Is mocking at my overthrow | B |
Oh thy sweet tongue must plead for me | C |
And tell why I have chosen thee | C |

Arrayed in all her forms of gloom | E |
Wilt thou my advocate be dumb | D |
No radiant angel speak and say | F |
Why I did cast the world away | F |

Why I have persevered to shun | G |
The common paths that others run | G |
And on a strange road journeyed on | H |
Heedless alike of wealth and power | I |
Of glory's wreath and pleasure's flower | I |

To seek their altar stone no more | L |

A slave because I rule thee still | N |
Incline thee to my changeful will | N |
And make thy influence good or ill | N |
A comrade for by day and night | O |
Thou art my intimate delight | O |

My darling pain that wounds and sears | P |
And wrings a blessing out from tears | Q |
By deadening me to earthly cares | Q |

And am I wrong to worship where | T |
Faith cannot doubt nor hope despair | T |
Since my own soul can grant my prayer | T |
Speak God of visions plead for me | C |
And tell why I have chosen thee | C |
