Deuteronomy 32:39: I wound, and I heal
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Deepen the wound Thy hands have made
In this weak helpless soul.
Till mercy with its balmy aid
Descend to make me whole:
The sharpness of Thy two-edged sword
Enable me to' endure.
Till bold to cry " My hallowing Lord
Hath wrought a perfect cure!"
