Affliction to the saint,
A real blessing proves;
God often spares the men he hates,
And chastens those he loves.
Into the furnace cast,
‘Tis but to be refined;
The gold comes forth unsullied thence,
The dross is left behind.
Fierce passions then subside,
Ye murmuring thoughts be gone;
Lord, I submit, and thou shalt rule,
Thy will, not mine, be done.
