Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCCC| As due by many titles I resign | A |
| My self to Thee O God first I was made | B |
| By Thee and for Thee and when I was decayed | B |
| Thy blood bought that the which before was Thine | A |
| I am Thy son made with Thy Self to shine | A |
| Thy servant whose pains Thou hast still repaid | B |
| Thy sheep thine image and till I betrayed | B |
| My self a temple of Thy Spirit divine | A |

| Oh I shall soon despair when I do see | C |
| That thou lov'st mankind well yet wilt not choose me | C |
| And Satan hates me yet is loth to lose me | C |
