III.

O hear me, God! O give me joy

Such as thy chosen feel;

Have pity on a wretched boy;

My heart is hard as steel.

I have no care for what is good;

Thyself I do not love;

I relish not this Bible-food;

My heaven is not above.

Thou wilt not hear: I come no more;

Thou heedest not my woe.

With sighs and tears my heart is sore.

Thou comest not: I go.
