Exodus 5:23: Sure token of redemption near
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Sure token of redemption near,
Our servitude is more severe,
And heavier is our chain,
Thou hast not rescued us at all;
Of harder tasks, and sorer thrall,
More deeply we complain.
By this assuredly we know
The tyrant soon shall let us go,
Compell'd by power Divine;
We then to hberty restored
Shall worship our redeeming Lord,
And live for ever Thine.
