2 But thou wilt not thy love remove, Thy Covenant is sure; 'Tis but our Souls to try and prove To make us all more pure.
3 Fathers, we know, have divers Rods, And as the offence may be, They lighter or the heavier strike, And so likewise doth he.
4 'Tis always for our good we know He puts our Souls to grief, And thou great bowels, Lord, dost show, And sends us then relief.
5 O then, ye Saints, don't think it strange That God his Rod doth use, But bear it, and give praise to him, And mark what next ensues.
