Be tender hearted, be kind one to another, do your duty to those who still live.

God requires human to do as they wish to be done by,

In deeds, words and thoughts, to human and dumb creatures too.

The greatest sin is, in the sight of God, is to cruel the poor harmless dumb creatures,

They cannot speak nor help themselves.

The next sin is to cruel sick human,

The next sin is to cruel any who cannot help themselves,

And especially the cruel to the poor, harmless dumb creatures.

The Lord will cut asunder the cords of such sinners.

This world a place of misery,

I pray for thy kingdom to come, to destroy all sin,

O Lord, land me in heaven, that holy, happy place,

When I bid adieu to this vain world,

My good God in heaven, my only true friend,

Has held me up with His arm, and all I have to lean upon.

Christ, a man of grief, he wept so much himself,

On him I lean, who not in vain,

He counts and treasures up my tears.
