Hymn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAABB BCCC D DDEEE FFFGG GAAA| I HEARD a voice at midnight and it cried | A |
| O weary heart O soul for which I died | A |
| Why wilt thou spurn My wounded hands and side | A |
| Is there a heart more tender more divine | B |
| Than that sad heart which gave itself for thine | B |
| - | |
| Could there be love more warm more full than Mine | B |
| What other touch can still thy trembling breath | C |
| What other hand can hold thee after death | C |
| What bread so sweet to him that hungereth | C |
| - | |
| Warm is thy chamber soft and warm thy bed | D |
| - | |
| Bleak howling winds are round the path I tread | D |
| The Son of man can nowhere lay His head | D |
| Wilt thou not open to Me To and fro | E |
| I wander weary thro' the driving snow | E |
| But colder still that thou wouldst spurn Me so | E |
| - | |
| - | |
| I have a crown more bright than all that be | F |
| I have a kingdom wider than the sea | F |
| But both have I abandoned seeking thee | F |
| Poor weary heart so worn and sad within | G |
| Oh open to thy Friend thy Stay from sin | G |
| - | |
| That I with all My love may enter in | G |
| I heard a voice at midnight and I cried | A |
| O Lord I need Thy wounded hands and side | A |
| I need Thy love Lord enter and abide | A |
