Religion
Exodus 1:13: The world and their infernal god
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
The world and their infernal god
Have ruled us with an iron rod,
And long our slavish souls have been
Gall'd by the rigorous yoke of sin:
Yet drudging on with abject fear
We served our haughty lords severe,
And hardly daring to complain,
We kiss'd the rod, and hugg'd the chain.
