William Cowper - Hatred and vengeance, my eternal portion

Hatred and vengeance, my eternal portion, br Scarce can endure delay of execution, br Wait, with impatient readiness, to seize my br Soul in a moment. br br Damned below Judas:more abhorred than he was, br Who for a few pence sold his holy Master. br Twice betrayed Jesus me, this last delinquent, br Deems the profanest. br br Man disavows, and Deity disowns me: br Hell might afford my miseries a shelter; br Therefore hell keeps her ever hungry mouths all br Bolted against me. br br Hard lot! encompassed with a thousand dangers; br Weary, faint, trembling with a thousand terrors; br I'm called, if vanquished, to receive a sentence br Worse than Abiram's. br br Him the vindictive rod of angry justice br Sent quick and howling to the center headlong; br I, fed with judgment, in a fleshly tomb, am br Buried above ground.
