6 Exalted on his glorious throne,
I see him make my cause his own ;
Then all my anxious cares subside,
For Jesus lives, and will provide.
7 I see him look with pity down,
And hold in view the conq ror s crown.

My soul revives, nor asks for more.
8 By faith I see the hour at hand,
When in his presence I shall stand ;
Then it will be my endless bliss
To see him where and as he is.

A Father and a God.
2 " Let not my children slight the stroko
I for chastisement send,
Nor faint beneath my kind rebuke,
For still I am their Friend.
3 " The wicked I perhaps may leave
Awhile, and not reprove ;
But all the children I receive,
I scourge, because I love.
4 " If therefore you were left without
This needful discipline,
You might with cause admit a doubt
If you indeed were mine.
5 " Shall earthly parents then expect
Their children to submit ?
And will not you, when I correct,
Be humbled at my feet ?
6 " To please themselves they oft chastise,
And put their sons to pain ;
