[Chastised by an indulgent God]
Despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, &c.
—xii. 5.
Chastised by an indulgent God,
I would the kind chastisement feel,
But never faint beneath the rod,
Nor desperate, nor insensible:
From each extreme divinely kept,
The trouble coming from above
I would with thankful awe accept,
And bless with tears my Father's love.
