Chastisement
Author: Hart Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #872 (1844) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Gold in the furnace tried Lyrics: 1 Gold in the furnace tried
Ne’er loses aught but dross;
So is the Christian purified
And bettered by the cross.
2 Afflictions make us see,
What else would ’scape our sight.
How very foul and dim are we,
And God how pure and bright.
3 [The punished child repents;
The parent’s bowels move;
The offended father soon relents,
And turns with double love.]
4 If God rebuke for pride,
He’ll humble thy proud heart;
If for thy want of love he chide,
That love he will impart.
5 He shall by means like these
Thy stubborn temper break;
Soften thy heart by due degrees,
And make thy spirit meek.
6 His chastening, therefore, prize,
The privilege of a saint;
Their hearts are hard who that despise,
And theirs too weak who faint. Languages: English
