Benefit of Afflictions, and Support under them
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #227 (1740) Topics: Counsel and Support from God First Line: Consider all my Sorrows, Lord Lyrics: 1 Consider all my Sorrows, Lord,
And thy Deliv'rance send;
My Soul for thy Salvation faints
When will my Troubles end?
2 Yet I have found 'tis good for me
To bear my Father's Rod;
Afflictions make me learn thy Law,
And live upon my GOD.
3 This is the Comfort I enjoy
When new Distress begins:
I read thy Word, I run thy Way,
And hate my former Sins.
4 Had not thy Word been my Delight
When earthly Joys were fled,
My Soul, opprest with Sorrow's Weight
Had sunk amongst the Dead.
5 I know thy Judgments, Lord, are right,
Though they may seem severe;
The sharpest Suff'rings I endure
Flow from thy faithful Care.
6 Before I knew thy chast'ning Rod
My Feet were apt to stray;
But now I learn to keep thy Word,
Nor wander from thy Way. Scripture: Psalm 119:153 Languages: English
