Rhyme Scheme: ABCADBBAEFGHGF| For what contend the wise for nothing less | A |
| Than that the Soul freed from the bonds of Sense | B |
| And to her God restored by evidence | C |
| Of things not seen drawn forth from their recess | A |
| Root there and not in forms her holiness | D |
| For Faith which to the Patriarchs did dispense | B |
| Sure guidance ere a ceremonial fence | B |
| Was needful round men thirsting to transgress | A |
| For Faith more perfect still with which the Lord | E |
| Of all himself a Spirit in the youth | F |
| Of Christian aspiration deigned to fill | G |
| The temples of their hearts who with his word | H |
| Informed were resolute to do his will | G |
| And worship him in spirit and in truth | F |
