Job 33: To the chastening God I pray
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
To the chastening God I pray,
Take the cause of pain away,
Favour to Thy suppliant show,
Loose my bonds and let me go.
Go the way my Saviour trod,
Go in perfect peace to God.
Comforter of all that mourn,
Into joy my sorrow turn,
Joy to taste Thy saving grace,
Joy to see Thy smiling face,
Joy to know my sins forgiven,
Joy to gain a glimpse of heaven.
