Jeremiah 10:24: Father, if Thou must reprove
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Father, if Thou must reprove
For all that I have done,
Not in anger, but in love
Chastise Thine humbled son
Use the rod, and not the sword,
Correct with kind severity,
Bring me not to nothing, Lord,
But bring me home to Thee.
