[The children's mark I surely bear]
Whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth.
—xii. 6.
The children's mark I surely bear,
And bless Thee, Father, for the grace,
Because Thou lov'st, Thou dost not spare,
But chide and scourge me all my days:
'Tis thus Thou dost Thine own receive,
And seal the children for Thine own,

Co-partners with Thy glorious Son.
