And servant girl that kept the door

Then one of high priest\'s servants so
Said, \'You know Jesus, Him you know\'
\'For did not I see you, was when
In the garden you with Him then?\'
Peter again denied, then heard
Cockerel\'s crow, prophetic bird
For Jesus had said to Peter
A true word did on him confer
That before the cockerel crows he
Would deny Jesus thrice, so be
