Cherished and Chastened

Valentine's Day

"As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent" (Revelation 3:19).

We see God's love in our salvation
So clearly at the cross,
Yet also when His hand will chasten,
To spare our souls from loss.

Be zealous, therefore, hastening
To hear Him and obey
Who cherishes with chastening
To teach us in His way.
