A mother may forgetful be,
For human love is frail;
But thy Creator’s love to thee,
O Zion! can not fail.
No! thy dear name engraven stands
In characters of love,
On thy almighty Father’s hands,
And never shall remove.
Before his ever-watchful eye
Thy mournful state appears
And every groan, and every sigh,
Divine compassion hears.
O Zion! learn to doubt no more,
Be every fear suppressed;
Unchanging truth, and love, and power
Dwell in thy Saviour’s breast.
