Come Not, Oh Lord. (air.--haydn.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAA CDCD EFEG| Come not oh LORD in the dread robe of splendor | A |
| Thou worest on the Mount in the day of thine ire | B |
| Come veiled in those shadows deep awful but tender | A |
| Which Mercy flings over thy features of fire | A |
| - | |
| LORD thou rememberest the night when thy Nation | C |
| Stood fronting her Foe by the red rolling stream | D |
| O'er Egypt thy pillar shed dark desolation | C |
| While Israel basked all the night in its beam | D |
| - | |
| So when the dread clouds of anger enfold Thee | E |
| From us in thy mercy the dark side remove | F |
| While shrouded in terrors the guilty behold Thee | E |
| Oh turn upon us the mild light of thy Love | G |
