[Who never hast affliction known]
If ye be without chastisement,...are ye...not sons.
—xii. 8.
Who never hast affliction known,
Or smarted by a Father's rod,
Sinner, thou art not yet a son,
Thou art not truly born of God,
Howe'er thou may'st thy soul deceive,
Thou never didst in Christ believe.
Or smarted by a Father's rod,
Sinner, thou art not yet a son,

Howe'er thou may'st thy soul deceive,
Thou never didst in Christ believe.
The steadfast word of God and sure
This mark of our adoption gives:
And he who doth not pain endure
The sinful life of nature lives;
And if he still at ease remain,
Shall soon inherit endless pain.
