| Thou in whose All no work imperfect stands | B |
| Thou who dost gaze on Beauty's unveiled face | C |
| Grant to Thy children Thy sustaining grace | C |
| When low at length have run the daylight sands | B |
| When though their day was set to Thy commands | B |
| They bow contritely in prayer's holy place | C |
| Because through strivings beauty wards they trace | C |
| The sad misshapings of their earthly hands | B |
| Grant them at eve a soul devoutly still | A |
| Grant them in dreams a vision of Thy light | D |
| Grant them at morn a sorrow purged away | E |
| Into the peace of all absolving night | D |
| Star in the dawnlight of a fairer day | E |
| Nearer the blossom of Thy perfect Will | A |
