Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGI JKLK| Holy Lord God I love Thy truth | A |
| Nor dare Thy least commandment slight | B |

| But though the poison lurks within | C |
| Hope bids me still with patience wait | D |
| Till death shall set me free from sin | C |

| When glory crowns the Christian's head | K |
| One look at Jesus as He is | L |
| Will strike all sin forever dead | K |
