You know not the world
And it knows you not
Left by folks to all loneliness
Now with a shock, so abrupt

Every new day
Is with a new pain
that you desire to leave too
And put a halt to all thy anguish

The fiendish stealthy world
As old nick himself
Has thee crippled within
With no mercy nor compassion

But the lord thy strength
Thy peace and hope
Will bear off thy distress
As he did for thy sin
