| By the temptation which Thou didst endure | H |
| And by Thy fasting and Thy midnight prayer | I |
| Jesu let me not utterly despair | I |
| Oh hide me in the Rock from ill secure | H |
| Pity me oh my God | C |

| Mine eyes run down with tears that do not cease | J |
| Oh when beyond the river dark and cold | K |
| Shall I the white walls of my home behold | K |
| The shining palaces the streets of gold | K |
| And enter through the gates the City of Peace | J |
| Pity me oh my God | C |
