Hymn 12.
1 I will call in my affliction, on the Power that subdues all—that is able to subdue, the Captor in his wrath—as it overcame Legion. R., Glory to His grace!
2. The Evil One has repaid me my brethren, debts that he borrowed not of me:— the good God likewise has repaid me, mercies that I lent Him not.— Come and marvel at these two things!
3. The good God has divided and given, my misdeeds to His grace—my offenses to His justice; His mercy has blotted out my misdeeds— His judgment has requited my offenses.
4. Sin was exceeding angry, and abode in alarm—when she saw how grace, put restraint on freedom, that she might overcome transgressions.
5. Glow, O my Lord, and send down Your love, break out and pour forth Your wrath!— Your wrath to destroy, Your love to rescue— the captives from the captor!
6. The days wherein the Evil One, decreed to cast me forth—as with a sling into perdition, in them the good God has bound up and kept— my soul in the bundle of life.
7. The men of speech who keep not silence, from praising continually—who have kept me in the midst of waves, and supported me that I fell not, let them give praise in my stead, O my Lord!
8. For who has at any time sufficed, in presence of the grace—of the mercies which surrounded him, that I should suffice to praise— the mercies that encompass me?
