Job 5:15: I Smitten by Thee my heart is sore
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
I Smitten by Thee my heart is sore;
Jesus, show Thy sovereign power,
And bind it up again:
Thy wrath hath made the painful wound,
But in Thy bleeding hands is found
The balm that heals my pain.
This anguish of a wounded soul
(Till Thy love hath made me whole)
O how shall I endure?
Now, Lord, with pardoning grace begin,
And bring Thy heavenly nature in
To work a perfect cure.
