| The region of Thy choice | C |
| Where undisturbed by sin and earth the soul | D |
| Owns Thy entire control | D |
| 'Tis on the mountain's summit dark and high | B |
| When storms are hurrying by | B |
| 'Tis 'mid the strong foundations of the earth | E |
| Where torrents have their birth | E |
| - | |
| No sounds of worldly toil ascending there | F |
| Mar the full burst of prayer | F |
| Lone Nature feels that she may freely breathe | G |
| And round us and beneath | H |
| Are heard her sacred tones the fitful sweep | I |
| Of winds across the steep | I |
| Through withered bents romantic note and clear | J |
| Meet for a hermit's ear | K |

| The wheeling kite's wild solitary cry | B |

| What was the promise made to thee alone | S |
| Art thou the excepted one | T |
| An heir of glory without grief or pain | U |
| O vision false and vain | U |
| There lies thy cross beneath it meekly bow | V |
| It fits thy stature now | V |
| Who scornful pass it with averted eye | B |
| 'Twill crush them by and by | B |
| - | |
| Raise thy repining eyes and take true measure | W |
| Of thine eternal treasure | W |
| The Father of thy Lord can grudge thee nought | N |
| The world for thee was bought | N |
| And as this landscape broad earth sea and sky | B |
| All centres in thine eye | B |
| So all God does if rightly understood | N |
| Shall work thy final good | N |
