- Think of my affliction O Lord.
Send Thy only help
My heart fainteth for salvation
And will my work not end?
- It is more proportion for me
If my father whips me,
Punish me for refusing Thee
That I may believe Thee.
- I know righteous is thy judgement
As harsh as it may be,
Paints that I have already borne
Cometh from Thee alone.
- Before I knew Thy guiding hand
I always went astray,
When I read Thy consoling words
I do not go astray. Amen.
