| We were as children crying a delight | B |
| Their hearts indeed divine | C |
| But cannot understand | D |
| The perfect wholeness of its depth and height | B |
| Urged by a power beyond our reach | E |
| Our tongues outran our hearts in speech | E |
| But now O now when we together stand | D |
| And lay each trusting hand in hand | D |
| At last within our hearts the rose | F |

| To bind us ever nearer Cicely | J |
| Take all I am would it were worthy thee | J |
| And in thy love O make it so to be | J |
