Of Hell.
HOrrid darkness, sad and sore,And an eternal Night,Groans and shrieks, and thousand moreIn the want of glorious light;Every corner hath a SnakeIn the accursed lake.Seas of fire, beds of snowAre the best delights below;A Viper from the fireIs his hireThat knows not moments from Eternity.Glorious God of Day and Night,Spring of Eternal Light,Allelujahs, Hymns and PsalmsAnd Coronets of PalmsFill thy people ever more.O mighty God,Let not thy bruising rodCrush our loins with an eternal pressure;O let thy mercy be the measure:For if thou keepest wrath in store,We all shall die,And none be left to glorifieThy Name, and tellHow thou hast sav'd our Souls from Hell.
Mercy.
