Original text and translations

English text

Daughter of error, hear!
Hear! tremble and obey!
Oh may the penitential tear
Fall, till thy guilt be passed away!
We call thee, hapless Child of error!
Think how near thy certain fate!

Hour of death, and hour of terror,
Firm thy coming, I await!
And see, a Cherub seems to smile,
And hark! his heavenly note I hear!
As if it said, “Yet, yet awhile
Endure the storm, ’twill quickly clear.”
