| Dark Dark Dark | A |
| And all the day since white robed priest | B |
| In farthest East | B |
| In dawn's first ray began the Feast | B |

| Thy least and last and lowest child | B |
| I called on thee | D |
| Virgin didst hear my words were wild | B |
| Didst think of me | D |

| Dark Dark Dark | A |
| Alas and no The angels bright | B |
| With wings as white | B |

| I knelt afar | F |
| A shadow only dims the scene | E |
| Where shines a star | F |

| Sweet pure and high | G |
| The angel's song swept sounding by | G |
| Triumphantly | D |
| And when such music filled thy ear | H |
| Rose round thy throne | I |
| How could I hope that thou wouldst hear | H |
| My far faint moan | I |
| - | |
| Dark Dark Dark | A |
| And all day long where altars stand | B |
| Or poor or grand | B |
| A countless throng from every land | B |
| With lifted hand | B |
| Winged hymns to thee from sorrow's vale | J |
| In glad acclaim | K |
| How couldst thou hear my lone lips wail | J |
| Thy sweet pure name | K |
| - | |
| Dark Dark Dark | A |
| Alas and no Thou didst not hear | H |
| Nor bend thy ear | H |
| To prayer of woe as mine so drear | H |
| For hearts more dear | H |
| Hid me from hearing and from sight | B |
| This bright Feast day | C |
| Wilt hear me Mother if in its night | B |
| I kneel and pray | C |
| - | |
| Dark Dark Dark | A |

| Angels and altars hailed thee Queen | E |
| All day ah be | D |
| To night what thou hast ever been | L |
| A mother to me | D |
| - | |
| Dark Dark Dark | A |
| Thy queenly crown in angels' sight | B |
| Is fair and bright | B |
| Ah lay it down for oh to night | B |
| Its jeweled light | B |
| Shines not as the tender love light shines | M |
| O Mary mild | B |
| In the mother's eyes whose pure heart pines | M |
| For poor lost child | B |

| Let thy sceptre wave in the realms above | N |
| Where angels are | H |
| But Mother fold in thine arms of love | N |
| Thy child afar | H |
| - | |
| Dark Dark Dark | A |
| Mary I call Wilt hear the prayer | H |
| My poor lips dare | H |
| Yea be to all a Queen most fair | H |
| Crown sceptre bear | H |
| But look on me with a mother's eyes | O |
| From heaven's bliss | P |
| And waft to me from the starry skies | O |
| A mother's kiss | P |
| - | |
| Dark Dark Dark | A |
| The sun is set the day is dead | B |
| Her Feast has fled | B |
| Can she forget the sweet blood shed | B |
| The last words said | B |
| That evening Woman behold thy Son | Q |
| Oh priceless right | B |
| Of all His children The last least one | Q |
| Is heard to night | B |
