| All fashion all frame | H |
| Receive and inherit | G |
| Their strength from the same | H |
| - | |
| Oh man that deniest | G |
| All power save thine own | I |
| Their power in the highest | G |
| Is mightily shown | I |
| Not less in the lowest | G |
| That power is made clear | J |
| Oh man if thou knowest | G |

| Sinks low or swings past | G |
| - | |
| Through abysses unproven | F |
| And gulfs beyond thought | G |
| Our portion is woven | F |
| Our burden is brought | G |
| Yet They that prepare it | G |
| Whose Nature we share | O |
| Make us who must bear it | G |
| Well able to bear | O |
| - | |
| Though terrors o'ertake us | A |
| We'll not be afraid | G |
| No power can unmake us | A |
| Save that which has made | G |
| Nor yet beyond reason | F |
| Or hope shall we fall | P |
| All things have their season | F |
| And Mercy crowns all | P |
| - | |
| Then doubt not ye fearful | Q |
| The Eternal is King | R |
| Up heart and be cheerful | Q |
| And lustily sing | R |
| What chariots what horses | C |
| Against us shall bide | G |
| While the Stars in their courses | C |
| Do fight on our side | G |
