Religion
Ezra 9:13: Yes; for we are not yet in hell
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Yes; for we are not yet in hell,
Worthy the fiercest torments there,
With kindred fiends we do not dwell,
Or gnaw our tongues through vain despair;
Chastised, we still on earth remain,
Patient beneath Thy judgments grieve.
And short of that eternal pain,
Tis mercy, all we ea/i receive!
