    I
    It was on a Good Friday morning
    The Jews came in with their sharp spears,
    [?] pierced Our Saviour's [?] Heart,
    His tender Mother was standing by,
    With a hearty Sigh and a mournful cry,
    All who say this prayer three times
    by night three times by day, shall never
    fall into mortal Sin or the gates
    of Hell shall never enter in

    II.
    As I went out one evening to view the Holy Land.
    I saw the Blessed Virgin with Seven Mass Books in Her Hand.
    Seven priests singing, Seven bells ringing
    Seven candles lighting, the gates of Hell shutting, the gates of Heaven opening,
    Let in all those poor souls and my Soul.
    Amen.
