Excerpt2 - Thy Sweet Correction

How can I, Lord, repine
When I am surely Thine,
And, yet more wondrous still,
I know and do Thy will.
O Lord, what bliss is this
To know Thy soothing inward kiss!
To know Thee in a new dimension,
To welcome *all* Thy sweet correction,
And goads that lead me to perfection.
Thy rebukes are good for me,
They purge for deeper chastity,
They draw me closer to Thy breast,
And there, and only there, dear Lord, is perfect rest!
