II The awakened Childs Lamentation.
1.
VVhen Adam was deceived,
I was of Life bereaved;
Of late (too) I perceived,
I was in sin conceived.
2.
And as I was born naked,
I was with filth bespaked,
At which when I awaked,
My Soul and Spirit shaked.
3.
My Filth grew strong, and boyled,
And me throughout defiled,
Its pleasures me beguiled,
My Soul! how art thou spoyled!
4.
My Joys with sinwere painted,
My mind with sin is tainted,
My heart with Guilt is fainted,
I wa'nt with God acquainted.
5.
I have in sin abounded,
My heart therewith is wounded,
