Hymns for the Use of Families, 160

Ask if a mother's heart is kind
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 I lis feet.

Ask, if the sun doth once mistake
His true celestial road;
Then ask, if Jesus can forsake
The purchase of His blood?

The sun at last shall lose his way,
And into darkness fall;
But Jesus at that endless day
Shall be our All in all.
