Just waken’d from a slumber,

Who wanders in sin’s wilderness,

Out of the condemned number.

The thunder roars from Sinai’s mount,

Fills him with awful terror;

And he like nought in God’s account,

All drown’d with grief and sorrow.

Oh, woe is me that I was born,

Or after death have being;

Fain would I be some earthly worm,
