Text and music were published in Monsignor Levkulic's Hymns of the Great Fast, on page 21, with the three verses given above. Many of the lines are identical to ones given in the 1913 publication, but are ordered differently.

The same hymn, with an additional final verse. was printed in Father Stefan Papp's Duchovňi Pisňi (1969), on page 104. Except for the extra verse, the text is generally similar to that given by Monsignor Levkulic.
