Lord! unafflicted, undismayed,
In pleasure's path how long I strayed.
But thou hast made me feel thy rod!
And turned my soul to thee, my God.
What though it pierced my fainting heart,
I bless thy hand that caused the smart;
It taught my tears awhile to flow,
But sav'd me from, eternal woe!
O, hadst thou left me unchastis'd,
Thy precepts I had still despised,
And still the snare in secret laid
Had my unwary feet betray'd.
I love thy chast'nings, O my God,
They fix my hopes on thine abode;
Where, in thy presence fully blest,
Thy stricken saints for ever rest.
