Religion
Judges 16:22: His anger will the Lord retain
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
His anger will the Lord retain,
A poor dark soul for ever leave?
Gall'd by my hellish master's chain,
After a pardoning God I grieve:
Mock'd by my foes, imprison'd, blind.
Of all my gracious vigour shorn;
Yet lo! a springing hope I find
That Jesus will at last return.
