Psalm: Father, Thou dost forgive

Father, Thou dost forgive,
Thou dost the child reprove;
And lo! my pardon I receive,
With Thy chastising love,
Accept my punishment.
With faith in Jesu's blood.
And comprehend the kind intent
Of Thy afflictive rod.

My own inventions past
With daily grief I meet;
Remorse, and shame, with life shall last,
And bow me at Thy feet.
While banish'd from the skies,
I will Thy chastening bear;
But wipe the sorrows from my eyes,
But end my sufferings here!
