lyrics

Afflictions do not come alone, A voice attends the rod
By both He to His saints is known, A Father and a God!
Let not My children slight the stroke, I for chastisement send
Nor faint beneath My kind rebuke, For still I am their Friend

The wicked I perhaps may leave, Awhile, and not reprove
But all the children I receive, I scourge, because I love
If therefore you were left without, This needful discipline
You might, with cause, admit a doubt, If you, indeed, were Mine

Shall earthly parents then expect, Their children to submit?
And wilt not you, when I correct, Be humbled at My feet?
To please themselves they oft chastise, And put their sons to pain
But you are precious in My eyes, And shall not smart in vain

I see your hearts, at present, filled, With grief, and deep distress
But soon these bitter seeds shall yield, The fruits of righteousness
Break through the clouds, dear Lord, and shine!, Let us perceive Thee nigh!
And to each mourning child of Thine, These gracious words apply
