Isaiah 48:9: Yet dost Thou, Lord, Thy wrath forbear
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Yet dost Thou, Lord, Thy wrath forbear.
My righteous punishment defer.
Time after time reprieve;
Thou dost not speedy vengeance take.
But still for Thy own mercy's sake
Permittest me to live.
I live to render Thee the praise,
A monument of Thy patient grace
Thy patient grace I own,
Phick'd as a brand out of the flame,
Spared for the glory of Thy name,
The glory of Thy Son.
