Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFDEGG| Father to God himself we cannot give | A |
| A holier name then lightly do not bear | B |
| Both names conjoined but of thy spiritual care | B |
| Be duly mindful still more sensitive | A |
| Do Thou in truth a second Mother strive | C |
| Against disheartening custom that by Thee | D |
| Watched and with love and pious industry | D |
| Tended at need the adopted Plant may thrive | C |
| For everlasting bloom Benign and pure | E |
| This Ordinance whether loss it would supply | F |
| Prevent omission help deficiency | D |
| Or seek to make assurance doubly sure | E |
| Shame if the consecrated Vow be found | G |
| An idle form the Word an empty sound | G |
