| And Time seems then not for to fly but creep | A |
| Slowly her chariot drives as if that she | B |

| The winds to blow the tedious night away | C |
| That I might see the cheerful peeping day | C |
| Sick is my heart O Saviour do Thou please | D |
| To make my bed soft in my sicknesses | D |
| Lighten my candle so that I beneath | E |
| Sleep not for ever in the vaults of death | F |
| Let me thy voice betimes i' th' morning hear | C |
| Call and I'll come say Thou the when and where | C |
| Draw me but first and after Thee I'll run | G |
| And make no one stop till my race be done | G |
