"Yes; our soul the iron enters, / Sin is perfect misery"
Metaphor in Context
O how sore a thing and grievous
Is it from our God to run!
When we force our God to leave us,
Wretched are we and undone:
Are we not our own tormentors,
When from happiness we flee?
Yes; our soul the iron enters,
Sin is perfect misery.
Is it from our God to run!
When we force our God to leave us,
Wretched are we and undone:
Are we not our own tormentors,
When from happiness we flee?
Yes; our soul the iron enters,
Sin is perfect misery.
