| I take my leave with sorrow of Him I love so well | B |
| I look my last upon His small and radiant prison cell | B |
| O happy lamp to serve Him with never ceasing light | C |
| O happy flame to tremble forever in His sight | C |
| - | |
| I leave the holy quiet for the loudly human train | D |
| And my heart that He has breathed upon is filled with lonely pain | D |
| O King O Friend O Lover What sorer grief can be | A |
| In all the reddest depths of Hell than banishment from Thee | A |
| - | |
| But from my window as I speed across the sleeping land | E |
| I see the towns and villages wherein His houses stand | E |
| Above the roofs I see a cross outlined against the night | C |
| And I know that there my Lover dwells in His sacramental might | C |
| - | |
| Dominions kneel before Him and Powers kiss His feet | F |
| Yet for me He keeps His weary watch in the turmoil of the street | F |
| The King of Kings awaits me wherever I may go | G |
| O who am I that He should deign to love and serve me so | G |
