[My merciful God Hath chasten'd His son]
The Lord hath chastened and corrected me, &c.
—cxviii. 18.
My merciful God Hath chasten'd His son,
His fatherly rod I thankfully own,
He hath not rejected, Or left me to die,
But gently corrected, And laid the rod by.
His fatherly rod I thankfully own,
He hath not rejected, Or left me to die,
But gently corrected, And laid the rod by.
O how shall I praise The goodness Divine?
My remnant of days To Him I resign,
My life to the Giver I gladly restore,
And praise Him for ever When time is no more.
