John 9:3: God cannot take delight to grieve
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
God cannot take delight to grieve
The wretched helpless sons of men,
But may awhile in weakness leave.
That all His power may soon be seen:
His work is to restore the blind;
And when He doth the scales remove.
Our Lord by His own light we find
And praise the pardoning God of love.
