| Nor one been yet denied | O |
| Then why should I or you | P |
| Let us by faith their footsteps trace | C |
| And hasten to the throne of grace | C |

| As fogs obscure the light | Q |
| And taint the morning air | B |
| But soon are put to flight | Q |
| If the bright sun appear | R |
| Thus Jesus will our troubles chase | C |
| By shining from the throne of grace | C |
