TO GOD (6), by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Make, make me thine, my gracious god
Last Line: But I as patient will be found.
Subject(s): Patience


Make, make me Thine, my gracious God,
Or with thy staffe, or with thy rod;
And be the blow too what it will,
Lord, I will kisse it, though it kill:
Beat me, bruise me, rack me, rend me,
Yet, in torments, I'le commend Thee:
Examine me with fire, and prove me
To the full, yet I will love Thee:
Nor shalt thou give so deep a wound,
But I as patient will be found.
