Exodus 6:6: Witness of my extreme distress
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Witness of my extreme distress
How long shall I these burdens feel,
Egyptian burdens, that depress,
And sink my abject soul to hell!
If Thou Thy promised help defer,
And suffer me in sin to' expire,
I must a hotter furnace bear,
A furnace of eternal fire.
