The poem expresses despair regarding the hardships of life on Earth, emphasizing a lack of comfort in the world. It contrasts this with the belief that true comfort and peace come from understanding God’s holiness and righteousness, highlighting that solace is found solely in God, not in earthly circumstances.
In this sin cursed earth
This wretched land
This fallen nation
What comfort can I find?
None, for this world hath no comfort
True comfort and peace
Is found in the knowledge
Of God’s holiness and righteousness
There is comfort flowing full and free
Not in this land, but God alone.
