HYMN 184. Souls under the Altar.
Give laud, &c.
Rev. 6.10.
HOw long, O Lord, how long
thou holy one, and true,
Ere thou avenge our wrong,
and judge, with judgment due
Them that have spilt
Our blood on earth, and pou••'d it forth,
with hainous guilt.
Luke 18.7, 8.
And shall not the most High
avenge his own Elect,
Which night and day do c••y,
and pray to that effect?
Though he bear long,
I tell you, he will speedily
avenge their wrong.
Rom. 8.36. Psal. 44.23, 24.
But we are killed thus
all day for thy dear sake,
As sheep they count of us
which they for slaughter take.
O God arise,
Why dost thou yet our griefs forge••,
and our sad cries?
2 Thes. 1.6, 7.
But with the Lord, ye know,
the thing is just and due,
To render wrath and woe
to them that trouble you.
