XXXIII. Resignation. From ‘Discipline’

George Herbert (1593–1633)

THROW away thy rod,

Throw away thy wrath;

O my God,

Take the gentle path!

For my heart’s desire

Unto thine is bent;

I aspire

To a full consent….

Throw away thy rod;

Though man frailties hath,

Thou art God;

Throw away thy wrath!
