A Gem Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABC BDDEFFEG GGHH

The gem is not this ode itselfA
Hardly can it aspire so highB
Earth has its gems but all its wealthC
-
Increased by thousands cannot buyB
Man's soul the gem of priceless worthD
Made in God's image at its birthD
Ordained to live for evermoreE
Redeemed by blood from sin and hellF
Transformed by grace God's love to tellF
And at His feet its homage pourE
Lordly are its endowments tooG
-
Superb its destiny if trueG
Only below said one who knewG
Unfallen angels round God's throneH
Lord may this gem be Thine aloneH
