| Perchance that I might learn what pity is | B |
| That I might laugh at erring men no more | A |
| Secure in my own strength as heretofore | A |
| My soul hath fallen from her state of bliss | C |
| Nor know I under any flag but this | C |
| How fighting I may 'scape those perils sore | A |
| Or how survive the rout and horrid roar | A |
| Of adverse hosts if I Thy succour miss | C |
| O flesh O blood O cross O pain extreme | D |
| By you may those foul sins be purified | E |
| Wherein my fathers were and I was born | F |
| Lo Thou alone art good let Thy supreme | D |
| Pity my state of evil cleanse and hide | E |
| So near to death so far from God forlorn | F |
