Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGDGDHCCC IJIJKLKLMNMN| O HOLY FATHER just and true | A |
| Are all Thy works and words and ways | B |
| And unto Thee alone are due | A |
| Thanksgiving and eternal praise | B |
| As children of Thy gracious care | C |
| We veil the eye we bend the knee | D |
| With broken words of praise and prayer | C |
| Father and God we come to Thee | D |
| For Thou hast heard O God of Right | E |
| The sighing of the island slave | F |
| And stretched for him the arm of might | E |
| Not shortened that it could not save | F |
| The laborer sits beneath his vine | G |
| The shackled soul and hand are free | D |
| Thanksgiving for the work is Thine | G |
| Praise for the blessing is of Thee | D |
| And oh we feel Thy presence here | H |
| Thy awful arm in judgment bare | C |
| Thine eye hath seen the bondman's tear | C |
| Thine ear hath heard the bondman's prayer | C |
| Praise for the pride of man is low | I |
| The counsels of the wise are naught | J |
| The fountains of repentance flow | I |
| What hath our God in mercy wrought | J |
| Speed on Thy work Lord God of Hosts | K |
| And when the bondman's chain is riven | L |
| And swells from all our guilty coasts | K |
| The anthem of the free to Heaven | L |
| Oh not to those whom Thou hast led | M |
| As with Thy cloud and fire before | N |
| But unto Thee in fear and dread | M |
| Be praise and glory evermore | N |
