AFFLICTION SENT IN MERCY.

How tender is thy hand, O thou most gracious Lord! Afflictions came at thy command, And left us at thy word.
How gentle was the rod That chastened us for sin! How soon we found a smiling God Where deep distress had been!
A Father's hand we felt, A Father's love we knew; 'Mid tears of penitence we knelt, And found his promise true.
Now will we bless the Lord, And in his strength confide; Jehovah ever be adored, There is no God beside.—Sel.
