1 Like as a Woman travailing Does cry out in her pain, So thou dost say Lord thou wilt do, To pour forth wrath amain.
1 LIke as a Woman travailing Does cry out in her pain, So thou dost say Lord thou wilt do, To pour forth wrath amain.
2 Thy Patience and sweet Lenity Is almost gone, no doubt, And therefore thou most bitterly Wilt quickly now cry out.
3 A Woman when her travel comes From crying can't refrain, So thou wilt cry for Scions sake Like her in grievous pain.
3 A Woman when her travel comes From crying can't refrain, So thou wilt cry for Sions sake Like her in grievous pain.
4 A woman in her travel strives Her Child for to bring forth, So thou deliverance for thy Church Wilt work throughout the Earth.
