Verse 1
Who never hast affliction known,
Or smarted by a Father’s rod,
Sinner, thou art not yet a son,
Thou art not truly born of God,
Howe’er thou mayst thy soul deceive,
Thou never didst in Christ believe.
Verse 2
The stedfast word of God and sure
This mark of our adoption gives:
And he who doth not pain endure
The sinful life of nature lives;
And if he still at ease remain,
Shall soon inherit endless pain.
