| Thy message given thine home in sight | F |
| To the forbidden feast return | S |
| Yield to the false delight | F |
| Thy better soul could spurn | S |

| In sorrow kneeling and in fear | U |
| We read the Pastor's doom | T |
| Who speaks and will not hear | V |

| The grey haired saint may fail at last | F |
| The surest guide a wanderer prove | W |
| Death only binds us fast | F |
| To the bright shore of love | A |
