Comforting Correction

"The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.... Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me" (Psalm 23:1,4).

I know that I shall never lack
Whatever I shall truly need.
My Lord was faithful, looking back,
And faithfully He yet will lead.

Sometimes He will give direction,
By His staff and gentle hand;
Sometimes by His rod, correction,
That thereby I might understand.

There's more than human eye can see;
I know I have not seen the half
Of all the comfort given me
By my Shepherd's rod and staff.
