[Yes; though Thou fill my flesh with pain]

God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth. —xi. 6.

Yes; though Thou fill my flesh with pain,
With bitterness my cup,
And let me in my sins remain,
To fill the measure up;

I must Thy righteousness declare,
Whate'er on earth I feel,
And less than my deserts I bear,
Who am not yet in hell.
