Forgetful can a mother be?
Yes: human love is frail;
But the Redeemer's love to thee,
O Zion! Can not fail.
No: thy dear name engraven stands,
In characters of love,
On thine atoning Saviour’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.
