"Can a mother forget!"

Author: Anne Steele Appears in 46 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 49:14 First Line: A mother may forgetful be Lyrics: 1 A mother may forgetful be, For human love is frail; But thy Creator's love to thee, O Zion, cannot fail. 2 No: thy dear name engraven stands, In characters of love, On thine almighty Father's hands, And never shall remove. 3 Before his ever-watchful eye Thy mournful state appears, And every groan, and every sigh, Divine compassion hears. 4 O Zion, learn to doubt no more, Be every fear suppressed; Unchanging truth, and love, and power, Dwell in thy Saviour's breast.

Isaiah 49:13-17: Ye heav'ns send forth your song of praise!

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 49:13-17 First Line: Ye heav'ns send forth your song of praise! Lyrics: Ye heav’ns send forth your song of praise! earth, raise your voice below! Let hills and mountains join the hymn, and joy through nature flow. Behold how gracious is our God! hear the consoling strains, In which he cheers our drooping hearts, and mitigates our pains. Cease ye, when days of darkness come, in sad dismay to mourn, As if the Lord could leave his saints forsaken or forlorn. Can the fond mother e’er forget the infant whom she bore? And can its plaintive cries be heard, nor move compassion more? She may forget: nature may fail a parent’s heart to move; But Sion on my heart shall dwell in everlasting love. Full in my sight, upon my hands I have engraved her name: My hands shall build her ruined walls, and raise her broken frame.

Zion stands with hills surrounded

Author: Kelly Appears in 397 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 49:15 Lyrics: 1 Zion stands with hills surrounded-- Zion, kept by power divine; All her foes shall be confounded, Though the world in arms combine. Happy Zion, What a favored lot is thine! 2 Every human tie may perish; Friend to friend unfaithful prove; Mothers cease their own to cherish; Heaven and earth at last remove; But no changes Can attend Jehovah's love. 3 In the furnace God may prove thee, Thence to bring thee forth more bright, But can never cease to love thee; Thou art precious in his sight: God is with thee-- God, thine everlasting light.
