[Ask if a mother's heart is kind]
Ask if a mother's heart is kind
To her own sucking child;
Then ask, Is God to love inclined,
Or my Redeemer mild?
To her own sucking child;
Then ask, Is God to love inclined,
Or my Redeemer mild?
A mother may perhaps neglect,
And her own son forget,
But Jesus never will reject
A sinner at His feet.
And her own son forget,
But Jesus never will reject
A sinner at His feet.
Ask, if the sun doth once mistake
His true celestial road;
Then ask, if Jesus can forsake
The purchase of His blood?
His true celestial road;
Then ask, if Jesus can forsake
The purchase of His blood?
194
The sun at last shall lose his way,
And into darkness fall;
But Jesus at that endless day
Shall be our All in all.
And into darkness fall;
But Jesus at that endless day
Shall be our All in all.
