Hosea 5:15: The promise of my chastening God
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
The promise of my chastening God
I humbled in the dust receive,
Respire beneath my sinful load.
In hope Thou wilt again forgive.
Return my evil to remove,
My sole desire to satisfy,
And let me taste once more Thy love.
Once more behold Thy face, and die.
