Chastened.

By Julia A. Griggs

"For the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul."
O My Saviour! Lamb of God, While I feel thy chastening rod, Under which I sigh and moan, As I restless toss and groan, Let these fires the dross consume, And thy love my heart illumine; Jesus! Master! hear my plea, Make me, Saviour, just like thee.
On me sore thy hand is laid, Lend me now thy Spirit's aid, Sanctifying every ill, Crucifying all my will, Till thy graces are revealed— By thy Holy Spirit sealed. Saviour, how I long to be Purified and made like Thee.
Weary grown, and tired of sin, Manifest thy power within— Try me e'en as gold is tried, Clinging to the Crucified: I will patiently endure, Till this conflict here is o'er; Hoping by thy grace to be Purified and made like Thee.
