| That thou has aught to do with me | B |
| O tame my heart | C |
| It is thy highest art | C |
| To captivate strong holds to thee | B |

| Vanish into a wind | F |
| Making thy workmanship deceit | G |
| - | |
| O smooth my rugged heart and there | H |
| Engrave thy rev'rend law and fear | I |

| Is sapless grown | K |
| And a much fitter stone | K |
| To hide my dust than thee to hold | J |
