Why, oh my soul, dost thou transgress
The precepts of thy God?
Thou soon must feel his vengeful wrath,
Or smart beneath his rod.
Oft from example, others learn
The paths of sin to tread;
And who can tell how far and wide,
The influence may spread!
By sinful appetites enslaved,
I drag the heavy chain;
And strive myself to extricate,
But toil, alas, in vain.
Great God, the work is wholly thine,
To set the prisoner free,
Help me to break the yoke of sin,
And live alone to thee.
