Monk’s harmonies are preserved in the first four verses, including a piquant progression at ‘Thousands only live to bless thee’, which in verse 3 seems to pay tribute to ‘Craftsman’s art and music’s measure’. The tune is shared by the voices in verse 3 and 4, and in the last verse sung by the basses with a descant added.

Les harmonies de Monk sont préservées dans les quatre premières strophes, avec une progression piquante sur «Thousands only live to bless thee» («Des milliers ne vivent que pour te bénir»), qui, dans la strophe 3, semble rendre hommage à «Craftsman’s art and music’s measure» («l’art de l’artisan et la mesure de la musique»). La mélodie est répartie entre les voix dans les strophes 3 et 4, et la dernière est chantée par les basses avec un contre-chant ajouté.

In den ersten vier Strophen bleiben Monks Harmonien erhalten, unter anderem eine ungewöhnliche Fortschreitung bei „Thousands only live to bless thee“, was in Strophe 3 wohl „Craftsman’s art and music’s measure“ unterstreicht. In den Strophen 3 und 4 wird die Melodie geteilt und in der letzten Strophe von den Bässen mit einer zusätzlichen Diskantstimme gesungen.
