Lyrics

The promise of my chastning God (Heb. 12:5-11, Job 5:17-18)
I humbled in the dust receive, (Job 42:6)
Respire beneath my sinful load,
In hope thou wilt again forgive,
Return my evil to remove,
My sole desire to satisfy,
And let me taste once more thy love,
Once more behold thy face, and die. (Hosea 5:15, Ex. 33:20, Luke 2:29-30)
