Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCCDEEFDF| Shun not this Rite neglected yea abhorred | A |
| By some of unreflecting mind as calling | B |
| Man to curse man thought monstrous and appalling | B |
| Go thou and hear the threatenings of the Lord | A |
| Listening within his Temple see his sword | A |
| Unsheathed in wrath to strike the offender's head | C |
| Thy own if sorrow for thy sin be dead | C |
| Guilt unrepented pardon unimplored | C |
| Two aspects bears Truth needful for salvation | D |
| Who knows not 'that ' yet would this delicate age | E |
| Look only on the Gospel's brighter page | E |
| Let light and dark duly our thoughts employ | F |
| So shall the fearful words of Commination | D |
| Yield timely fruit of peace and love and joy | F |
