Then, lone one! softly walk with me.

September 6, 1840.

CHASTENING, A PROOF OF LOVE.

“But thou hast been weary of me, O, Israel!”

I was weary of the Savior,

Turn’d my heart to other love;

Deeply griev’d at my behavior,

Soon he call’d me from above;

Drew me gently,

Bound me with the cords of love.
