Who, when beneath affliction’s rod,
Can inward rest attain,
And bless the chastening love of God
In some remembered strain?
Who, when in pain he lies apart,
And powers of life decay,
Can muse with holy joy of heart
On some familiar lay?
He can suffice for these good things
Whose mind with Christ’s is one;
Who closely in communion clings
To God’s incarnate Son.
O Saviour! Fount of wondrous might!
Let me this gift receive
Thus, Lord, in sorrow’s darkest night
Thy servant's grief relieve.
Let songs of Zion, known of old
Within the hallowed place,
My spirit cheer, my faith uphold
Through thine all-strengthening grace.
