Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDB FBFB EGEG BHBH IJIJ KCLC MCMC NONO| Oh Allumette hemmed with thy fringe of pine | A |
| Watched over by thy mountains far away | B |
| Thy waters have been troubled oftentime | C |
| Never before as they have been to day | B |
| - | |
| The red man on the war path with light stroke | D |
| Hath cleaved thy waters moving stealthily | E |
| Hunter and hunted deer thy surface broke | D |
| With splash and struggle of the living prey | B |
| - | |
| Across thy bosom venturous Champlain | F |
| And faithful Brule have pursued their way | B |
| Seeking for distant golden Indian vain | F |
| Finding Coulonge while searching for Cathay | B |
| - | |
| The knights of industry the sons of toil | E |
| Trouble thy waters in the eager strife | G |
| To win success and wealth the glittering spoil | E |
| For which men daily peril more than life | G |
| - | |
| 'Twas a new motive from their homes to day | B |
| That drew an eager wondering people out | H |
| Like those who from Mount Zion took their way | B |
| From Judah and the regions round about | H |
| - | |
| It might have been the Jordan flowed along | I |
| Or that sweet stream where people met for prayer | J |
| Still expectation held the gathering throng | I |
| By the lake shore in the hushed Sabbath air | J |
| - | |
| And earnest fervent pleading prayer was made | K |
| Rose the sweet strains of the old Scottish psalm | C |
| And words of witness for God s truth were said | L |
| The only sound that broke the sacred calm | C |
| - | |
| Then down into the waters of the lake | M |
| The preacher and believer slowly came | C |
| Not heeding scornful words for His dear sake | M |
| Who bore the cross for us despised the shame | C |
| - | |
| Buried with Him by baptism to death | N |
| Following the path which He the Sa lour trod | O |
| To rise with Him to that new life He saith | N |
| He hath laid up for us with Christ in God | O |
