[ii] Rule Thou our wilful [willful] hearts, / Keep Thine our wand’ring [wandering] thoughts; / In all our sorrows, let us find our rest in Thee; / And in temptation’s hour, / Save through Thy mighty pow’r [power], / Thine aid O send us; / Hear us in mercy, / Show us Thy favor, / So shall we live, and sing praise to Thee.

[ii] Panis angelicus fit panis hominum / Dat panis coelicus figuris terminum. / O res mirabilis / manducat Dominum, / Pauper, pauper, servus et humilis / Pauper, pauper, / servus, servus et humilis.
[Handwritten in pencil above [ii]] Tetrina Deitas / unaque poscimus / Sic nos tu visita, Sicut te colimus / Per tuas semitas / duc nos quo tendimus / ad lucem / Quam inhabitas / ad lucem / Quam inhabitas
