| All knowledges are broken shades | G |
| In gulfs of dark a scattered horde | A |
| Together rush the parted glory grades | G |
| Then lo thy garment Lord | A |

| Shine Lord shine me thy shadow still | J |
| The brighter I the more thy shade | B |
| My motion be thy lovely moveless will | J |
| My darkness light delayed | B |
