[Yes; for we are not yet in hell]
Thou our God hast punished us less than our, &c.
—ix. 13.
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 can receive!
