| - | |
| Brethren what bequest to you should come | B |
| From the lowly poor man going home | C |
| Whom ye younger ones with patience tended | D |
| Whose last days ye honour'd and defended | D |
| - | |
| When we oft have seen the monarch ride | E |
| Gold upon him gold on ev'ry side | E |
| Jewels on him on his courtiers all | F |
| Thickly strewed as hailstones when they fall | F |
| - | |
| Have ye e'er known envy at the sight | G |
| And not felt your gaze become more bright | G |
| When the sun was on the wings of morning | H |
| Darnawend's unnumber'd peaks adorning | H |
| - | |
| As he bow like rose How each eye dwelt | I |
| On the glorious scene I felt I felt | I |
| Thousand times as life's days fleeted by | J |
| Borne with him the coming one on high | J |
| - | |
| God upon His throne then to proclaim | K |
| Him the life fount's mighty Lord to name | K |
| Worthily to prize that glorious sight | G |
| And to wander on beneath His light | G |
| - | |
| When the fiery orb was all defined | L |
| There I stood as though in darkness blind | L |
| Beat my breast my quicken'd members threw | M |
| On the earth brow foremost at the view | M |
| - | |
| Let this holy great bequest reward | N |
| Brotherly good will and kind regard | O |
| SOLEMN DUTY'S DAILY observation | P |
| More than this it needs no revelation | P |
| - | |
| If its gentle hands a new born one | P |
| Move then straightway turn it tow'rd the sun | P |
| Soul and body dip in bath of fire | Q |
| Then each morning's favour 'twill acquire | Q |
| - | |
| To the living one commit the dead | R |
| O'er the beast let earth and dust be spread | R |
| And so far as may extend your might | G |
| What ye deem impure conceal from sight | G |
| - | |
| Till your plains to graceful purity | S |
| That the sun with joy your labours see | S |
| When ye plant your trees in rows contrive | T |
| For he makes the Regular to thrive | T |
| - | |
| E'en the floods that through the channel rush | U |
| Must not fail in fulness or in gush | U |
| And as Senderud from mountain high | J |
| Rises pure in pureness must it die | J |
| - | |
| Not to weaken water's gentle fall | F |
| Carefully cleanse out the channels all | F |
| Salamander snake and rush and reed | V |
| All destroy each monster and each weed | V |
| - | |
| If thus pure ye earth and water keep | W |
| Through the air the sun will gladly peep | W |
| Where he worthily enshrined in space | X |
| Worketh life to life gives holy grace | X |
| - | |
| Ye by toil on toil so sorely tried | E |
| Comfort take the All is purified | E |
| And now man as priest may boldly dare | Y |
| From the stone God's image to prepare | Y |
| - | |
| When the flame burns joyously and bright | G |
| Limbs are supple radiant is the night | G |
| On the hearth when fire with ardour glows | Z |
| Ripe the sap of plants and creatures grows | Z |
| - | |
| Dragging wood with rapture be it done | P |
| 'Tis the seed of many an earthly sun | P |
| Plucking Pambeh gladly may ye say | A2 |
| This as wick the Holy will convey | A2 |
| - | |
| If ye meekly in each burning lamp | B2 |
| See the nobler light's resplendent stamp | B2 |
| Ne'er will Fate prevent you void of feeling | H |
| At God's throne at morningtide from kneeling | H |
| - | |
| This is Being's mighty signet then | C2 |
| God's pure glass to angels and to men | C2 |
| Each word lisped the Highest's praise to sound | D2 |
| Ring in ring united there is found | D2 |
| - | |
| From the shore of Senderud ascendeth | A |
| Up to Darnawend its pinions bendeth | A |
| As He dawns with joy to greet His light | G |
| You with endless blessings to requite | G |
