| My peace and pardon to procure | B |
| The lighter cross I bear for Thee | A |
| Help me with patience to endure | B |

| The storm of loud repining hush | C |
| I would in humble silence mourn | D |
| Why should the unburnt though burning bush | E |
| Be angry as the crackling thorn | D |

| Man should not faint at Thy rebuke | F |
| Like Joshua falling on his face | G |
| When the cursed thing that Achan took | H |
| Brought Israel into just disgrace | G |

| Perhaps some golden wedge suppress'd | I |
| Some secret sin offends my God | J |
| Perhaps that Babylonish vest | I |
| Self righteousness provokes the rod | J |
| - | |
| Ah were I buffeted all day | K |
| Mock'd crown'd with thorns and spit upon | L |
| I yet should have no right to say | K |
| My great distress is mine alone | M |
| - | |
| Let me not angrily declare | N |
| No pain was ever sharp like mine | O |
| Nor murmur at the cross I bear | N |
| But rather weep remembering Thine | O |
William Cowper
