• This hymn uses typical four-measure phrases. 

• In the first phrase, the third measure is the climax. 

• In the other three phrases, the first measure begins high, and the third measure receives the second emphasis. 

• The emphasized lyrics are 'mercy, blessings, leads, on to,' 'He, now, believe, dwell,' 'in, white, fully, immortal,' 'Only,' 'trust,' and 'save.'
