| Two snowy cloths for a Feast | B |
| Two vases of dying roses | C |
| The morning comes from the east | B |
| With a gleam for the folds of the vestments | C |
| And a grace for the face of the priest | B |
| - | |
| The sound of a low sweet whisper | A |
| Floats over a little bread | D |
| And trembles around a chalice | C |
| And the priest bows down his head | D |
| O'er a sign of white on the altar | A |
| In the cup o'er a sign of red | D |
| - | |
| As red as the red of roses | C |
| As white as the white of snows | C |
| But the red is a red of a surface | C |
| Beneath which a God's blood flows | C |
| And the white is the white of a sunlight | E |
| Within which a God's flesh glows | C |
| - | |
| Ah words of the olden Thursday | F |
| Ye come from the far away | F |
| Ye bring us the Friday's victim | G |
| In His own love's olden way | F |
| In the hand of the priest at the altar | A |
| His Heart finds a home each day | F |
| - | |
| The sight of a Host uplifted | H |
| The silver sound of a bell | I |
| The gleam of a golden chalice | C |
| Be glad sad heart 'tis well | I |
| He made and He keeps love's promise | C |
| With thee all days to dwell | I |
| - | |
| From his hand to his lips that tremble | J |
| From his lips to his heart a thrill | K |
| Goes the little Host on its love path | L |
| Still doing the Father's will | K |
| And over the rim of the chalice | C |
| The blood flows forth to fill | K |
| - | |
| The heart of the man anointed | M |
| With the waves of a wondrous grace | C |
| A silence falls on the altar | A |
| An awe on each bended face | C |
| For the Heart that bled on Calvary | N |
| Still beats in the holy place | C |
| - | |
| The priest comes down to the railing | O |
| Where brows are bowed in prayer | P |
| In the tender clasp of his fingers | C |
| A Host lies pure and fair | P |
| And the hearts of Christ and the Christian | Q |
| Meet there and only there | P |
| - | |
| Oh love that is deep and deathless | C |
| Oh faith that is strong and grand | R |
| Oh hope that will shine forever | A |
| O'er the wastes of a weary land | R |
| Christ's Heart finds an earthly heaven | Q |
| In the palm of the priest's pure hand | R |
