HYMN 235. Murmuring restrained.
To the Tune of the Ten Commandments.
Lam. 3.39.
WHY should a living man complain,A man that sins to suffer pain?For it is good in very truthThat man should bear his yoke in youth.
He sits alone with silent soulBecause He bears a just controul:He puts his mouth into the dustIf hope may be in whom to trust.
descriptionPage 255
He gives his cheek to them that smite,He's filled with reproach and spite:For thus he thinks God will restore,And not cast off for evermore.
For though a while He causeth griefYet will He surely send relief:And in his mercies multitudeShall his compassions be renew'd.
