Song Lyrics
"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
