| When Faith and Love which parted from thee never | B |
| Had ripen'd thy just soul to dwell with God | C |

| Of Death call'd Life which us from Life doth sever | B |
| Thy Works and Alms and all thy good Endeavour | B |
| Staid not behind nor in the grave were trod | C |
| But as Faith pointed with her golden rod | C |
| Follow'd thee up to joy and bliss for ever | B |
| Love led them on and Faith who knew them best | E |
| Thy hand maids clad them o're with purple beams | F |
| And azure wings that up they flew so drest | E |
| And speak the truth of thee on glorious Theams | F |
| Before the Judge who thenceforth bid thee rest | E |
| And drink thy fill of pure immortal streams | F |
