| What happy secret fountain | B |
| Fair shade or mountain | B |
| Whose undiscovered virgin glory | C |
| Boasts it this day though not in story | C |
| Was then thy dwelling Did some cloud | D |
| Fixed to a tent descend a shroud | D |
| My distressed Lord Or did a star | E |
| Beckoned by Thee though high and far | E |
| In sparkling smiles haste gladly down | F |
| To lodge light and increase her own | G |
| My dear dear God I do not know | H |
| What lodged Thee then nor where nor how | I |
| But I am sure Thou dost now come | J |
| Oft to a narrow homely room | K |
| Where Thou too hast but the least part | L |
| My God I mean my sinful heart | L |
