Ezra 9:9: Bondmen indeed! too long we lived
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Bondmen indeed! too long we lived.
In Egypfs iron furnace bound.
And then, the thralls of Babel, grieved.
Till Love Divine a ransom found.
Pitied our sore captivity,
And died Himself, to set us free.
