| Our work is done God knoweth how | A |
| As on the thronged unrestful town | B |
| The patience of the moon looks down | B |
| I wait to hear beside the wire | C |
| The voices of its tongues of fire | C |
| Slow doubtful faint they seem at first | D |
| Be strong my heart to know the worst | D |
| Hark there the Alleghanies spoke | E |
| That sound from lake and prairie broke | E |

| Shine on the freedman's cabin floor | Q |
| On brows of prayer a blessing pour | Q |
| And give with full assurance blest | R |
| The weary heart of Freedom rest | R |
