| Answer me answer me oh let me hear | B |
| Thy voice and know that thou indeed art near | C |
| That from the bonds in which thou'rt forced to dwell | A |
| Thou hast not broken free thou art not fled | D |
| Thou hast not pined away thou art not dead | D |
| Speak to me through thy prison bars my life | E |
| With all things round is one eternal strife | E |
| 'Mid whose wild din I pause to hear thy voice | F |
| Speak to me look on me thou born of light | G |
| That I may know thou'rt with me and rejoice | F |

| Shall there not come a better brighter day | H |
| Shall not thy chain and mine be broken quite | G |

| With thine immortal wing | I |
| And I still following | I |
| With steps that do not tire | J |

| And to thy worship bring | I |
| Some worthy offering | I |
| Oh let but these dark days be once gone by | K |
| And thou unwilling captive that dost strain | L |
| With tiptoe longing vainly towards the sky | K |
| O'er the whole kingdom of my life shalt reign | L |
| But while I'm doomed beneath the yoke to bow | M |
| Of sordid toiling in these caverns drear | J |
| Oh look upon me sometimes with thy brow | J |
| Of shining brightness sometimes let me hear | J |
| Thy blessed voice singing the songs of Heaven | N |
| Whence thou and I together have been driven | N |
| Give me assurance that thou still art nigh | K |
| Lest I sink down beneath my load and die | K |
