Jerusalem, Israel
Trials must and will befall... oh to see that love is inscribed upon them all.
May we reason with fear if they don’t come. Lord Jesus don’t cast us away.
Thank You for all the experiences of those who have run this race before us.
Detroit, Michigan, United States
My favorite lines are:
stanza 2 "Love inscribed upon them all"
stanza 4 "Trials give new life to prayer."
----------
There are 2 additional stanzas usually omitted:
2b. God in Israel sows the seeds,
Of afflictions, pain and toil;
These spring up, and choke the weeds,
Which would else o'erspread the soil;
------------
3b. Bastards may escape the rod,
Sunk in earthly vain delight;
But the true born son of God;
Must not, would not, if he might.
