Why should I murmur or repine,
O Lamb of God, who bled for me?
What are my griefs compared with thine,
Thy tears, thy groans, thine agony!
If thou the furnace dost employ,
Thou sittest as refiner near,
To purge away the base alloy,
Till thine own image bright appear.
Though oft thy way is in the sea,
Thy footsteps in the wingéd storm;
Though crested billows threaten me,—
Love slumbers in their frowning form!
Submissive-would I kiss the rod,
Needful each stroke, I humbly own:
Help me to trust thee O my God!
If now thy wisdom be unknown.
