| This bitter night | B |
| I will make fast my door | C |
| That hollow friends may trouble me no more | C |
| - | |
| 'Friend open to Me ' Who is this that calls | D |
| Nay I am deaf as are my walls | D |
| Cease crying for I will not hear | E |
| Thy cry of hope or fear | F |
| Others were dear | F |
| Others forsook me what art thou indeed | G |
| That I should heed | G |
| Thy lamentable need | G |
| Hungry should feed | G |
| Or stranger lodge thee here | E |
| - | |
| 'Friend My Feet bleed | G |
| Open thy door to Me and comfort Me ' | - |
| I will not open trouble me no more | C |
| Go on thy way footsore | C |
| I will not rise and open unto thee | H |

| Lest I arise and chase thee from my door | C |
| What shall I not be let | N |
| Alone that thou dost vex me yet | N |
| - | |
| But all night long that voice spake urgently | H |
| 'Open to Me ' | - |
| Still harping in mine ears | O |
| 'Rise let Me in ' | - |
| Pleading with tears | P |
| 'Open to Me that I may come to thee ' | - |
| While the dew dropped while the dark hours were cold | Q |
| 'My Feet bleed see My Face | J |
| See My Hands bleed that bring thee grace | J |
| My Heart doth bleed for thee | H |
| Open to Me ' | - |
| - | |
| So till the break of day | R |
| Then died away | R |
| That voice in silence as of sorrow | C |
| Then footsteps echoing like a sigh | S |
| Passed me by | S |
| Lingering footsteps slow to pass | T |
| On the morrow | C |
| I saw upon the grass | T |
| Each footprint marked in blood and on my door | C |
| The mark of blood for evermore | C |
