SWEET AFFLICTION




In the floods of tribulation,
While the billows o'er me roll,
Jesus whispers consolation,
And supports my fainting soul:
|: Sweet affliction. :|
That brings Jesus to my soul.


Thus the lion yields me honey;
From the eater food is given;
Strengthened thus, I still press forward,
Singing as I wade to heaven:
|: Sweet affliction. :|
And my sins are all forgiven.


'Mid the gloom the vivid lightnings
With increasing brightness play;
'Mid the thorn-brake sweetest flower
Look more beautiful and gay:
|: Sweet affliction. :|
That brings Jesus to my soul.


So, in darkest dispensations,
Doth my faithful Lord appear,
With his richest consolations,
To re-animate and cheer:
|: Sweet affliction. :|
Thus to bring my Saviour near.


Floods of tribulation, heighten,
Billows still around me roar,
Those who know not Christ, they frighten
But my soul defies their power,
|: Sweet affliction. :|
Thus to bring my Saviour near.


In the sacred page recorded,
Thus his word securely stands;
“Fear not, I'm in trouble near thee,
Nought shall pluck thee from my hands”
|: Sweet affliction. :|
Every word my love demands.


All I meet I find assists me
In my path to heavenly joy,
Where, though trials now attend me,
Trials never more annoy:
|: Sweet affliction. :|
Every promise gives me joy.


Wearing there a weight of glory
Still the path I'll ne'er forget,
But, exulting, cry, it led me
To my blessed Saviour's feet:
|: Sweet affliction. :|
Which has brought me to his feet.
