Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEFGAHHCCCCHCCII JJKKLLMM| Blest pair of Sirens pledges of Heav'ns joy | A |
| Sphear born harmonious Sisters Voice and Vers | B |
| Wed your divine sounds and mixt power employ | A |
| Dead things with inbreath'd sense able to pierce | C |
| And to our high rais'd phantasie present | D |
| That undisturbed Song of pure content | E |
| Ay sung before the saphire colour'd throne | F |
| To him that sits theron | G |
| With Saintly shout and solemn Jubily | A |
| Where the bright Seraphim in burning row | H |
| Their loud up lifted Angel trumpets blow | H |
| And the Cherubick host in thousand quires | C |
| Touch their immortal Harps of golden wires | C |
| With those just Spirits that wear victorious Palms | C |
| Hymns devout and holy Psalms | C |
| Singing everlastingly | H |
| That we on Earth with undiscording voice | C |
| May rightly answer that melodious noise | C |
| As once we did till disproportion'd sin | I |
| Jarr'd against natures chime and with harsh din | I |
| The fair musick that all creatures made | J |
| To their great Lord whose love their motion sway'd | J |
| In perfect Diapason whilst they stood | K |
| In first obedience and their state of good | K |
| O may we soon again renew that Song | L |
| And keep in tune with Heav'n till God ere long | L |
| To his celestial consort us unite | M |
| To live with him and sing in endles morn of light | M |
