| Trackless and starless forgotten of grace | A |
| Through the dusk that is neither day nor night | B |
| Through the grey that is neither dark nor light | B |
| Through thin chill ethers where dieth speech | C |
| Where the pulse of the music of heaven cannot reach | C |
| Unwarmed by the breath of living thing | D |
| And for ever unswept of angel's wing | D |
| Through the cold through the void through the wilds of space | A |
| With never a home or a resting place | A |
| How far must I wander Oh God how far | E |
| I have lost my star I have lost my star | E |
| - | |
| Once on a time unto me was given | F |
| The fairest star in the starry heaven | F |
| A little star to tend and to guide | G |
| To nourish and cherish and love as a bride | G |
| Far from all great bright orbs alone | H |
| Even to few of the angels known | H |
| It moved but a sweet pale light on its face | A |
| From the sapphire foot of the throne of grace | A |
| That was better than glory and more than might | B |
| Made it a wonder of quiet delight | B |
| Still must I wander Oh God how far | E |
| I have lost my star I have lost my star | E |
| - | |
| On the starry brow was the peace of the blest | I |
| And bounteous peace on the starry breast | I |
| All beautiful things were blossoming there | J |
| Sighing their loves to the delicate air | J |
| No creature of God such fragrance breathed | K |
| White rose girdled and white rose wreathed | K |
| And its motion was music an undertone | H |
| With a strange sad sweetness all its own | H |
| Dearer to me than the louder hymn | L |
| Of the God enraptured seraphim | M |
| How far must I wander Ah Heaven how far | E |
| I have lost my star I have lost my star | E |
| - | |
| In a round of joy remote and alone | H |
| Yet ever in sight of the great white throne | H |
| Together we moved for a love divine | N |
| Had blent the life of the star with mine | N |
| And had all the angels of all the spheres | O |
| Forecast my fate and foretold my tears | P |
| - | |
| The weary wand'ring the gruesome gloom | M |
| And bruited them forth through the Trump of Doom | M |
| Hiding a smile in my soul I had moved | K |
| Only the nearer to what I loved | K |
| Yet I must wander Oh God how far | E |
| I have lost my star I have lost my star | E |
| - | |
| Ah woe the delusive demon light | K |
| That beckoned me beckoned me day and night | K |
| The untwining of heartstrings the backward glance | Q |
| The truce with faith and the severance | R |
| Ah woe the unfolding of wayward wings | S |
| That bore me away from all joyous things | S |
| To realms of space whence the pale sweet gleam | M |
| Looked dim as a dimly remembered dream | M |
| To farther realms where the faint light spent | K |
| Vanished at length from my firmament | K |
| And I seek it in vain Ah God how far | E |
| I have lost my star I have lost my star | E |
| - | |
| On sleepless wings I have followed it | K |
| Through the star sown fields of the Infinite | K |
| And where foot of angel hath never trod | K |
| I have threaded the golden mazes of God | K |
| I have pierced where the fire fount of being runs | T |
| I have dashed myself madly on burning suns | T |
| Then downward have swept with shuddering breath | U |
| Through the place of the shadows and shapes of death | U |
| Till sick with sorrow and spent with pain | V |
| I float and faint in the dim inane | V |
| Must I yet wander Ah God how far | E |
| I have lost my star I have lost my star | E |
| - | |
| Oh could I find in uttermost space | A |
| A place for hope and for prayer a place | A |
| Mine were no suit for a glittering prize | W |
| In the chosen seats of the upper skies | W |
| No grand ministration no thron d height | K |
| In the midmost intense of unspeakable light | K |
| What sun god sphere with all dazzling beam | M |
| Could be unto me as that sweet sad gleam | M |
| Let me roam through the ages all alone | H |
| If He give me not back my own my own | H |
| How far must I wander Oh God how far | E |
| I have lost my star I have lost my star | E |
| - | |
| In the whispers that tremble from sphere to sphere | X |
| Which the ear of a spirit alone can hear | Y |
| - | |
| I have heard it breathed that there cometh a day | K |
| When tears from all eyes shall be wiped away | K |
| When faintness of heart and drooping of wings | S |
| Shall be told as a tale of olden things | S |
| When toil and trouble and all distress | Z |
| Shall be lost in the round of Blessedness | A2 |
| In that day when dividing of loves shall cease | B2 |
| And all things draw near to the centre of peace | B2 |
| In the fulness of time in the ages afar | E |
| God oh God shall I find my star | E |
