| Spoke and took her by the hand | S |
| Death at once his prey surrendered | R |
| And she lived at his command | S |
| - | |
| Fear not then distressed believer | E |
| Venture on his mighty name | T |
| He is able to deliver | E |
| And his love is still the same | T |
| Can his pity or his power | E |
| Suffer thee to pray in vain | M |
| Wait but his appointed hour | E |
| And thy suit thou shalt obtain | M |
