[Chasten'd I all my days have been]

I have borne chastisement, I will not offend, &c. —xxxiv. 31.

Chasten'd I all my days have been,
And justly suffer'd for my sin,
But shall I still my God offend,
Till sin and life together end?
Father, I trust Thy faithful love
My sinful nature to remove,
Till fill'd with Christ, my life, my power,
I can abuse Thy grace no more.
