[It is the Lord, who doth not grieve]

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. —iii. 19.

It is the Lord, who doth not grieve,
Or needlessly reprove;
Saviour, I thankfully receive
The tokens of Thy love:
The tokens of Thy love I prize,
By answering Thine intent,
By listening to Thy rod that cries,
“Be zealous, and repent.”
