Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEE| Salvation to all that will is nigh | A |
| That All which always is all everywhere | B |
| Which cannot sin and yet all sins must bear | B |
| Which cannot die yet cannot choose but die | A |
| Lo faithful virgin yields Himself to lie | A |
| In prison in thy womb and though He there | B |
| Can take no sin nor thou give yet He will wear | B |
| Taken from thence flesh which death's force may try | A |
| Ere by the spheres time was created thou | C |
| Wast in His mind who is thy Son and Brother | D |
| Whom thou conceivst conceived yea thou art now | C |
| Thy Maker's maker and thy Father's mother | D |
| Thou hast light in dark and shutst in little room | E |
| Immensity cloistered in thy dear womb | E |
