Afflictions Do Not Come Alone (EN 5556)

EN 5556 Afflictions Do Not Come Alone

Heb.12.5

Versi Version 1

1

Afflictions do not come alone,

A voice attends the rod;

By both He to His saints is known,

A Father and a God!

2

Let not My children slight the stroke

I for chastisement send;

Nor faint beneath My kind rebuke,

For still I am their Friend.

3

The wicked I perhaps may leave

Awhile, and not reprove;

But all the children I receive

I scourge, because I love.

4

If therefore you were left without

This needful discipline;

You might, with cause, admit a doubt,

If you, indeed, were Mine.

5

Shall earthly parents then expect

Their children to submit?

And wilt not you, when I correct,

Be humbled at My feet?

6

To please themselves they oft chastise,

And put their sons to pain;

But you are precious in My eyes,

And shall not smart in vain.

7

I see your hearts, at present, filled

With grief, and deep distress;

But soon these bitter seeds shall yield

The fruits of righteousness.

8

Break through the clouds, dear Lord, and shine!

Let us perceive Thee nigh!

And to each mourning child of Thine

These gracious words apply.
