| Thou great Immanuel who didst lead | K |
| Thy Israel all the desert through | L |
| Like them we're weak and helpless quite | M |

| And when our Shepherd with his flock | N |
| Before thy throne shall re appear | O |
| May every one acceptance find | P |
| And ceaseless praises offer there | Q |
