| Wonder not my dearest friends | E |

| Comrades we are dwelling | B |
| We who with collected might | S |
| - | |
| Bravely cling together | F |
| Both in fortune's sunshine bright | S |
| - | |
| And in stormy weather | F |
| - | |
| Just as we are gather'd thus | E |
| - | |
| Others are collected | T |
| On them therefore as on us | E |
| - | |
| Be Fate's smile directed | T |
| From the springhead to the sea | C |
| - | |
| Many a mill's revolving | B |
| And the world's prosperity | C |
| - | |
| Is the task I'm solving | B |
