| churches to Bishop Ken's words but is now seldom heard | D |
| - | |
| - | |
| He said 'Awake my soul and with the sun ' | - |
| And paused upon the bridge his eyes due east | E |
| Where was emerging like a full robed priest | E |
| The irradiate globe that vouched the dark as done | F |
| - | |
| It lit his face the weary face of one | F |
| Who in the adjacent gardens charged his string | G |
| Nightly with many a tuneful tender thing | G |
| Till stars were weak and dancing hours outrun | F |
| - | |
| And then were threads of matin music spun | F |
| In trial tones as he pursued his way | H |
| 'This is a morn ' he murmured 'well begun | F |
| This strain to Ken will count when I am clay ' | - |
| - | |
| And count it did till caught by echoing lyres | A |
| It spread to galleried naves and mighty quires | A |
