| The sun himself is but thy shade | B |
| My spirit is the shadow of thy word | C |
| A thing that thou hast said | D |

| Diamonds are shadows of the sun | E |
| They gleam as after him they hark | F |

| 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 |

| My soul the shadow still is light | H |
| Because the shadow falls from thee | I |
| I turn dull candle to the centre bright | H |
| And home flit shadowy | I |

| 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 |
