| We thought we ranked above the chance of ill | B |
| Others might fall not we for we were wise | C |
| Merchants in freedom So of our free will | B |
| We let our servants drug our strength with lies | C |
| The pleasure and the poison had its way | D |
| On us as on the meanest till we learned | E |
| That he who lies will steal who steals will slay | D |
| Neither God's judgment nor man's heart was turned | E |

| Yet there remains His Mercy to be sought | F |
| Through wrath and peril till we cleanse the wrong | G |
| By that last right which our forefathers claimed | H |
| When their Law failed them and its stewards were bought | I |
| This is our cause God help us and make strong | G |
| Our will to meet Him later unashamed | H |
