| In darkness as a dead man out of sight | B |
| And none remains not one that I should tell | A |
| To him mine evil plight | B |
| 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 | H |
| I will not open trouble me no more | C |
| Go on thy way footsore | C |
| I will not rise and open unto thee | H |
| - | |
| Then is it nothing to thee Open see | H |
| Who stands to plead with thee | H |
| Open lest I should pass thee by and thou | I |
| One day entreat My Face | J |
| And howl for grace | J |
| And I be deaf as thou art now | I |
| Open to Me | H |
| - | |
| Then I cried out upon him Cease | K |
| Leave me in peace | K |
| Fear not that I should crave | L |
| Aught thou mayst have | M |
| Leave me in peace yea trouble me no more | C |
| 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 | H |
| Still harping in mine ears | O |
| Rise let Me in | P |
| Pleading with tears | Q |
| Open to Me that I may come to thee | H |
| While the dew dropped while the dark hours were cold | R |
| 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 | H |
| - | |
| So till the break of day | S |
| Then died away | S |
| That voice in silence as of sorrow | C |
| Then footsteps echoing like a sigh | T |
| Passed me by | T |
| Lingering footsteps slow to pass | U |
| On the morrow | C |
| I saw upon the grass | U |
| Each footprint marked in blood and on my door | C |
| The mark of blood forevermore | C |
