| Burdened with years and full of sinfulness | B |
| With evil custom grown inveterate | C |
| Both deaths I dread that close before me wait | D |
| Yet feed my heart on poisonous thoughts no less | B |

| No strength I find in mine own feebleness | B |
| To change or life or love or use or fate | D |
| Unless Thy heavenly guidance come though late | D |
| Which only helps and stays our nothingness | B |

| 'Tis not enough dear Lord to make me yearn | A |
| For that celestial home where yet my soul | E |
| May be new made and not as erst of nought | D |

| Nay ere Thou strip her mortal vestment turn | A |
| My steps toward the steep ascent that whole | E |
| And pure before Thy face she may be brought | D |
