Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFGHHAAIIJJ| The shepherds sing and shall I silent be | A |
| My God no hymn for Thee | A |
| My soul's a shepherd too a flock it feeds | B |
| Of thoughts and words and deeds | B |
| The pasture is Thy word the streams Thy grace | C |
| Enriching all the place | C |
| Shepherd and flock shall sing and all my powers | D |
| Outsing the daylight hours | D |
| Then will we chide the sun for letting night | E |
| Take up his place and right | E |
| We sing one common Lord wherefore he should | F |
| Himself the candle hold | G |
| I will go searching till I find a sun | H |
| Shall stay till we have done | H |
| A willing shiner that shall shine as gladly | A |
| As frost nipped suns look sadly | A |
| Then will we sing and shine all our own day | I |
| And one another pay | I |
| His beams shall cheer my breast and both so twine | J |
| Till ev'n His beams sing and my music shine | J |
