GOD's gentle Chastisement; or, His tender Mercy to his People

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CIIIb (1780) First Line: The LORD, how wondrous are his ways! Lyrics: 1 The LORD, how wond'rous are his ways! How firm his truth! how large his grace! He takes his mercy for his throne, And thence he makes his glories known. 2 Not half so high his pow'r hath spread The starry heav'ns above our head, As his rich love exceeds our praise, Exceeds the highest hopes we raise. 3 Not half so far hath nature plac'd The rising morning from the west, As his forgiving grace removes The daily guilt of those he loves. 4 How slowly doth his wrath arise! On swifter wings salvation flies: And if he lets his anger burn, How soon his frowns to pity turn! 5 Amidst his wrath compassion shines, His strokes are lighter than our sins; And while his rod corrects his saints, His ear indulges their complaints. 6 So fathers their young sons chastise With gentle hand and melting eyes; The children weep beneath the smart, And move the pity of their heart. Pause. 7 The mighty GOD, the wise and just, Knows that our frame is feeble dust; And will no heavy loads impose Beyond the strength that he bestows. 8 He knows how soon our nature dies, Blasted by ev'ry wind that flies; Like grass we spring, and die as soon, Or morning flow'rs that fade at noon. 9 But his eternal love is sure To all the saints, and shall endure; From age to age his truth shall reign, Nor children's children hope in vain.
