| Through all the highest heav'n rebounds | S |

| To thee the churches here rejoice | T |
| The solemn organs aid the voice | T |
| To sacred roofs the sound we raise | E |
| The sacred roofs resound thy praise | E |
| And while our notes in one agree | A |
| O bless the church that sings to thee | A |
