| For every member of our race | C |
| And I on it rely | A |

| Oh how can I before Thee stand | F |
| Or rest in Thine abode | G |

| With self respect or feel at home | H |
| With no returns to show | I |
| My whole life like the worthless foam | H |

| Oh that in life's great harvest field | J |
| I may some reaping do | K |
| Early and late the sickle wield | J |
| And prove a reaper true | K |

| And when the summons comes from Thee | D |
| While I on Christ rely | A |
| Thou wilt not be ashamed of me | D |
| Nor I ashamed to die | A |
