Hosea 2:15: Here in the depth of sweet distress
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Here in the depth of sweet distress
Again our vineyards we possess.
And drink the dead-reviving wine:
He lifts our drooping spirits up.
Gives us an open door of hope.
And cheers with confidence Divine.
Again the hidden God appears,
He scatters all our gloomy fears,
The joy of conscious faith imparts.
He gives us back our former love,
Restores the kingdom from above,
And stamps forgiveness on our hearts.
