Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHIJJAA EE| Angel of Pain I think thy face | A |
| Will be in all the heavenly place | A |
| The sweetest face that I shall see | B |
| The swiftest face to smile on me | B |
| All other angels faint and tire | C |
| Joy wearies and forsakes desire | C |
| Hope falters face to face with Fate | D |
| And dies because it cannot wait | D |
| And Love cuts short each loving day | E |
| Because fond hearts cannot obey | E |
| That subtlest law which measures bliss | F |

| But thou O loving faithful Pain | G |
| Hated reproached rejected slain | G |
| Dost only closer cling and bless | H |
| In sweeter stronger steadfastness | I |
| Dear patient angel to thine own | J |
| Thou comest and art never known | J |
| Till late in some lone twilight place | A |
| The light of thy transfigured face | A |
| Sudden shines out and speechless they | E |
| Know they have walked with Christ all day | E |
