You took much more than life and that you know!
You took all my love and that much you owe!
God, I compel thee my years deliver!
Faith! O’ Faith! Life I stand ill and ere you!
In sadness in heart, and thus I wither.

You took much more than life and that you know!
You took all my love and that much you owe!
God, my heart in blackness and hate submerged
Faith! O’ Faith! How in time to time I slipped!
Wherefore from God I’ve lost and diverged?

God, you’ve not heard my prays or understood!
Faith! O’ Faith! Forever fooled and left stood.
