Lyrics: .
1. O Thou whose sacred feet have trod
The thorny path of woe
Forbid that I should slight the rod,
Or faint beneath the blow.
My spirit to its chastening stroke
I meekly would resign,
Nor murmur at the heaviest yoke
That tells me I am Thine.

2. Give me the spirit of Thy trust
To suffer as a son,
To say, though lying in the dust,
“My Father’s will be done!”
I know that trial works for ends
Too high for sense to trace,
That oft in dark attire He sends
Some embassy of grace.

3. May none depart till I have gained
The blessing which it bears,
And learned, though late, I entertained
An angel unawares.
So shall I bless the hour that sent
The mercy of the rod,
And built an altar by the tents
Where I have met with God.
