| Rebuke the storm and waft my soul to land | I |
| O let her rest beneath thy wing secure | J |
| Thou that art the God of power | K |

| Behold the prodigal to thee I come | L |
| To hail my father and to seek my home | M |
| Nor refuge could I find nor friend abroad | N |

| O let thy terrors and my anguish end | P |
| Be thou my refuge and be thou my friend | P |
| Receive the son thou didst so long reprove | Q |
| Thou that art the God of love | Q |
