AS A MOTHER COMFORTS HER CHILD
Hymn
Item #
HW2736
Meter: 8.7.8.5.6.6. Ref.
Words By
Brian Wren
As a mother comforts her child, the Holy One comforts her people with all-embracing love.
As an eagle watches the nest, spreading her sheltering wings, and carries her fledglings aloft, teaching them to fly, So God befriends the Church with patient, teaching love.
As a bear, deprived of her young, rises with grief-stricken rage and catches the thieves unaware, crushing flesh and bone, So God defends the oppressed with angry, grieving love.
As a mother governs her child, the Holy One governs the nations with all-perceiving love.
As a woman looks for a coin, bending and sweeping the room, and finding it, calls to her friends, "Come and share my joy," So God retrieves the lost with seeking, joyful love.
As a midwife watches a birth, guiding with capable hands, and washes and carries the child safe to mother's arms, So God awakes new life with skillful, birthing love.
As a mother watches her child, the Holy One watches creation with all-sustaining love.
