I awoke with cold and trembling, the Lord had heard my prayer,

My blood ran through every vein, with hope and poor despair,

I fell down on my knees and prayed, as I ne’er had done before,

I gave my word to Him above, I would never blaspheme more.

All is done for our good, we should not rebuke His will,

In spite of all bad weather, the heads of corn did fill;

The harvest was most bountiful, with abundance we were blest.

Take warning now and do not swear, God does all for the best.
