Father, I Bless Thy Gentle Hand

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9993 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Father, I bless Thy gentle hand; How kind was Thy chastising rod, That forced my conscience to a stand, And brought my wandering soul to God! 2 Foolish and vain, I went astray Ere I had felt Thy scourges, Lord; I left my guide, and lost my way; But now I love and keep Thy Word. 3 ’Tis good for me to wear the yoke, For pride is apt to rise and swell; ’Tis good to bear my Father’s stroke, That I might learn His statutes well. 4 The law that issues from Thy mouth Shall raise my cheerful passions more Than all the treasures of the south, Or western hills of golden ore. 5 Thy hands have made my mortal frame, Thy Spirit formed my soul within; Teach me to know Thy wondrous name, And guard me safe from death and sin. 6 Then all that love and fear the Lord At my salvation shall rejoice; For I have hoped in Thy Word, And made Thy grace my only choice.
