1. For what reason have you shunned me,
You who've abandoned me in my grief?

2. Did I commit some evil deed,
To deserve such cold disdain?

3. If I sinned, then return with pardon,
To console and soothe my pain.

4. My advocate is tears that flow,
And all the faith that I maintain.

5. By Him who led me in sorrow, humbled,
To you, have mercy and deign,
