| Entranc'd adoring seraphs bend | B |
| Eternal source of light divine | A |
| Wilt Thou thy hallow'd ear incline | A |
| And mortal pray'r attend | B |
| Yes Father yes benignant Pow'r | C |
| Around Thee beams fair Mercy's purest ray | D |
| No awful terrors round Thee low'r | C |
| Save when in Judgment's dreaded hour | E |
| Thou bidst Creation tremble and obey | D |
| - | |
| Then rob'd in darkness and in clouds | F |
| That solemn veil thy glory shrouds | F |
| Chaos and night thy dark pavilion form | G |
| Thy spirit on the whirlwind rides | H |
| Impels the unresisting tides | H |
| Glares in the lightning rushes in the storm | G |
| - | |
| But Thou wilt meet the suppliant eye | I |
| And Thou wilt mark the lowly sigh | I |
| And Thou the holy tear wilt see | J |
| Which penitence devotes to Thee | J |
| That sigh thy breezes waft to heav'n | A |
| That holy tear is grateful incense giv'n | A |
| Low humble sad to Thee I bend | B |
| Oh listen from thy blest abode | K |
| And though celestial hymns ascend | B |
| Oh deign a mortal's prayer attend | B |
| My Father and my GOD | L |
| - | |
| Teach me if hope if joy be mine | A |
| To bless thy bounteous hand divine | A |
| And still with trembling homage raise | M |
| The grateful p an of exalted praise | M |
| - | |
| When deep affliction wounds my soul | N |
| Still let me own thy mild control | N |
| Teach me submissive and resign'd | O |
| To calm the tempest of the mind | O |
| To lift the meek adoring eye | I |
| Suppress the tear and hush the sigh | I |
| Gaze on one bright unclouded star | C |
| And hail 'the day spring' from afar | C |
| Bid angel faith dispel surrounding gloom | P |
| And soar on cherub wing beyond the tomb | P |
