Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFGHIHIJKJK LMLMNONNPQPQ| My Spouse in whose presence I live | A |
| Sole object of all my desires | B |
| Who know'st what a flame I conceive | C |
| And canst easily double its fires | B |

| Thy riches and glory divine | G |
| I have only my life to repay | F |
| Take what I would gladly resign | G |
| Thy will is the treasure I seek | H |

| There let me obedient and meek | H |
| Repose myself all the day long | I |
| My spirit and faculties fail | J |
| Oh finish what love has begun | K |
| Destroy what is sinful and frail | J |
| And dwell in the soul thou hast won | K |
| Dear theme of my wonder and praise | L |
| I cry who is worthy as thou | M |
| I can only be silent and gaze | L |
| 'Tis all that is left to me now | M |
| Oh glory in which I am lost | N |
| Too deep for the plummet of thought | O |
| On an ocean of Deity tossed | N |
| I am swallowed I sink into nought | N |
| Yet lost and absorbed as I seem | P |
| I chant to the praise of my King | Q |
| And though overwhelmed by the theme | P |
| Am happy whenever I sing | Q |
