For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand.—Revelation, vi. 17.
O throw away Thy rod,
O throw away Thy wrath!
My gracious Saviour and my God,
O take the gentle path!
Thou seest my heart’s desire
Still unto Thee is bent;
Still does my longing soul aspire
To an entire consent.
