| And led me bound and blind | B |
| Till at length a thousand fears | A |
| Came swarming o'er my mind | B |
| Where said I in deep distress | C |
| Will these sinful pleasures end | D |
| How shall I secure my peace | E |
| And make the Lord my friend | D |
| - | |
| Friends and ministers said much | F |
| The gospel to enforce | G |
| But my blindness still was such | F |
| I chose a legal course | G |
| Much I fasted watch'd and strove | H |
| Scarce would shew my face abroad | I |
| Fear'd almost to speak or move | J |
| A stranger still to God | K |
| - | |
| Thus afraid to trust His grace | L |
| Long time did I rebel | M |
| Till despairing of my case | L |
| Down at His feet I fell | N |
| Then my stubborn heart He broke | O |
| And subdued me to His sway | P |
| By a simple word He spoke | O |
| Thy sins are done away | P |
