| When soul to soul and dust to dust return | A |
| Heaven to thy charge resigns the awful hour | B |

| Oh deep enchanting prelude to repose | F |
| The dawn of bliss the twilight of our woes | F |
| Yet half I hear the parting spirit sigh | C |
| It is a dread and awful thing to die | C |
| Mysterious worlds untravell'd by the sun | G |
| Where Time's far wandering tide has never run | G |
| From your unfathom'd shades and viewless spheres | H |
| A warning comes unheard by other ears | H |
| 'Tis Heaven's commanding trumpet long and loud | I |
| Like Sinai's thunder pealing from the cloud | I |
| While Nature hears with terror mingled thrust | J |
| The shock that hurls her fabric to the dust | J |
| With mortal terrors clouds immortal bliss | K |
| And shrieks and hovers o'er the dark abyss | K |

| Daughter of Faith awake arise illume | L |
| The dread unknown the chaos of the tomb | L |

| Chased on his night steed by the star of day | L |
| The strife is o'er the pangs of Nature close | N |
| And life's last rapture triumphs o'er her woes | F |
| Hark as the spirit eyes with eagle gaze | O |
| The noon of heaven undazzled by the blaze | O |
| On heavenly winds that waft her to the sky | C |
| Float the sweet tones of star born melody | P |
| Wild as that hallow'd anthem sent to hail | Q |
| Bethlehem's shepherds in the lonely vale | Q |
| When Jordan hush'd his waves and midnight still | R |
| Watch'd on the holy towers of Zion hill | R |
| - | |
| Soul of the just companion of the dead | S |
| Where is thy home and whither art thou fled | S |
| Back to its heavenly source thy being goes | F |
| Swift as the comet wheels to whence he rose | F |
| Doom'd on his airy path awhile to burn | A |
| And doom'd like thee to travel and return | A |
| Hark from the world's exploding centre driven | G |
| With sounds that shook the firmament of heaven | G |
| Careers the fiery giant fast and far | T |
| On bickering wheels and adamantine car | T |
| From planet whirl'd to planet more remote | U |
| He visits realms beyond the reach of thought | V |
| But wheeling homeward when his course is run | G |
| Curbs the red yoke and mingles with the sun | G |
| So hath the traveller of earth unfurl'd | W |
| Her trembling wings emerging from the world | W |
| And o'er the path by mortal never trod | X |
| Sprung to her source the bosom of her God | X |
