1. I am a great complainer,
That bears the name of Christ;
Come, all ye Zion's-mourners,
And listen to my cries:
I’ve many sore temptations,
And sorrows to my soul;
I feel my faith declining,
And my affections cold.
 
2. O Lord of life and glory,
My sins to me reveal;
And by thy love and power,
My sin-sick soul be healed.
I thought my warfare over,
No trouble I should see,
But now I'm like the lonely dove
That mourns on the wavering tree.}}

3. I wish it was with me now
As is the days of old,
When the glorious light of Jesus
Was flowing in my soul;
But now l am distressed,
and no relief can find,
With a hard deceitful heart,
And a wretched wandering mind.
 
4. It is great pride and passion,
Beset me on my way;
So I am filled with folly,
And so neglect to pray;
While others run rejoicing,
And seem to lose no time,
I am so weak I stumble,
And so I’m left behind.}}

{{Text|Simple|
5. I read that peace and happiness
Meet Christians in their way,
That bear their cross with meekness,
And don't neglect to pray;
But I, a thousand objects
Beset me on my way,
So I am filled with folly,
And so neglect to pray.}}
