SONG I.
[1] This World's a Wilderness To God's afflicted Saints. A place of Dangers, Fears, and Foes; A place of Woes and Wants. This Life's a very Death, At least a dying life: For this is Death in Life, to find Sin in our Hearts so rife.

[2] That we not only are Encompassed with Foes: But have a treacherous Part within1 That doth with Satan close. That's ready to seduce And lead us into Evil, And on a sudden to betray Our Souls unto the Devil.
