CXLVII. Submission under Affliction

1 Dost thou my profit seek,
And chasten as a friend?
O God, I'll kiss the smarting rod,
There's honey at the end.

2 Dost thou thro' death's dark vale
Conduct to heaven at last?
The future good will make amends
For all the evil past.

3 Lord, I would not repine
At strokes in mercy sent;
If the chastisement comes in love,
My soul shall be content.
