O Christ the Vine with living Fruit | B |
The twelvefold fruited Tree of Life | C |
The Balm in Gilead after strife | C |
The valley Lily and the Rose | D |

Sweeter than clustered grapes Thou Vine | E |
O Best Thou Vineyard of red wine | E |
Keeping thy best wine till the close | F |

Pearl of great price Thyself alone | G |
And ruddier than the ruby Thou | H |
Most precious lightning Jasper stone | G |
Head of the corner spurned before | I |
Fair Gate of pearl Thyself the Door | I |
Clear golden Street Thyself the Way | J |
By Thee we journey toward Thee now | H |
Through Thee shall enter Heaven one day | J |

My heart calls Thine as deep to deep | L |
Dost Thou forget Thy sweat and pain | M |
They provocation on the Cross | N |
Heart pierced for me vouchsafe to keep | L |

The gain is Thine Lord if I gain | M |
Or if I lose Thine own the loss | N |

At midnight saith the Parable | O |
A cry was made the Bridegroom came | P |
Those who were ready entered in | Q |
The rest shut out in death and shame | P |
Strove all too late that Feast to win | Q |
Their die was cast and fixed their lot | R |
A gulf divided Heaven from Hell | S |
The Bridegroom said I know you not | R |
- | |
But Who is this that shuts the door | I |
And saith I know you not to them | T |
I see the wounded hands and side | U |
The brow thorn tortured long ago | A |
Yea This Who grieved and bled and died | U |
This same is He Who must condemn | T |
He called but they refused to know | A |
So now He hears their cry no more | I |
