Rhyme Scheme: AABCADAEEFFEGHBBBIHH B| I saw God Do you doubt it | A |
| Do you dare to doubt it | A |
| I saw the Almighty Man His hand | B |
| Was resting on a mountain and | C |
| He looked upon the World and all about it | A |
| I saw Him plainer than you see me now | D |
| You mustn't doubt it | A |
| He was not satisfied | E |
| His look was all dissatisfied | E |
| His beard swung on a wind far out of sight | F |
| Behind the world's curve and there was light | F |
| Most fearful from His forehead and He sighed | E |
| 'That star went always wrong and from the start | G |
| I was dissatisfied ' | H |
| He lifted up His hand | B |
| I say He heaved a dreadful hand | B |
| Over the spinning Earth then I said 'Stay | B |
| You must not strike it God I'm in the way | I |
| And I will never move from where I stand ' | H |
| He said 'Dear child I feared that you were dead ' | H |
| And stayed His hand | B |
