LXIX. THE MOTHER'S HYMN.
O what shall I do,
What method pursue,
In safety to bring my young innocent through?
What a wonder of grace,
If he 'scapes one whole race,
Unspoil'd by indulgence, unpoison'd by praise!
What method pursue,
In safety to bring my young innocent through?

If he 'scapes one whole race,
Unspoil'd by indulgence, unpoison'd by praise!
'Tis mercy alone
Can assist him to run
Through a desert, when thousands are daily undone;
That mercy I claim
In Jesus's name,
And believe Him a Saviour for ever the same.
Can assist him to run
Through a desert, when thousands are daily undone;
That mercy I claim
In Jesus's name,
And believe Him a Saviour for ever the same.
By mercy set free,
My Redeemer I see
As willing to save my poor infant as me:
If I trust Him, He must
Be true to His trust,
For to all that believe He is gracious and just.
My Redeemer I see

If I trust Him, He must
Be true to His trust,
For to all that believe He is gracious and just.
I trust Him alone
For myself and my son,
That He will not forsake whom He takes for His own:
By grace reconciled,
I give Him my child;
And if Jesus preserve, he can never be spoil'd.

That He will not forsake whom He takes for His own:
