| That faints for love of Thee | H |

| Yet since I feel it so | J |

| Within however low | J |

| I seem forsaken and alone | K |
| I hear the lion roar | L |
| And every door is shut but one | M |
| And that is Mercy's door | L |

| I'll wait with humble prayer | O |
| And when He calls His exile home | P |
| The Lord shall find him there | O |
