| | | LORD of my glory, | |
| Heare a sad story, | |
| Pity a man who peace, more deare than life, | |
| Quits with himself, and thee to be at strife; | |
| Pity a wretch who thee, the only good, | 5 |
| Leaves, in vile puddles to seeke health and food. | |
| Ah! pity him who still is crying | |
| To thee for life, and still is dying. | |
| |
| Lord of my glory, | |
| Heare a sad story, | 10 |
| Pity a minde who was made to live in light, | |
| But clouded is with lies, false, blacke as night; | |
| Pity a will where thy faire forme should dwell, | |
| But pester’d is with characters of hell. | |
| Ah! dearest Lord, turne my sad story | 15 |
| Into loud songs and hymnes of glory. | | | | |
