???Like as a mother comforteth??? O words of gentle worth! ???So will I comfort you,??? declares The Lord of all the earth. He bends in faithful watchfulness; He slumbers not nor sleeps; Above His trusting child the Lord A constant vigil keeps. He patient is, as mothers are Who love their children well; Our faults and failings He forgives; His mercies???who can tell! ???Like as a mother,??? grant, O God, This likeness e???er may be A holy symbol to declare The love that dwells in Thee.
