Psalm 118:18, 1: My merciful God Hath chasten'd His son
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
My merciful God Hath chasten'd His son.
His fatherly rod I thankfully own.
He hath not rejected. Or left me to die,
But gently corrected, And laid the rod by.
O how shall I praise The goodness Divine?
My remnant of days To Him I resign,
My life to the Giver I gladly restore,
And praise Him for ever When time is no more.
