Is he a God, and shall his Grace Grow weary of his Saints? 4 Can a kind Woman e'er forget The Infant of her Womb, Among a Thousand tender Thoughts Her Suckling have no Room? 5 Yet, saith the Lord, should Nature change, And Mothers Monsters prove, Sion still dwells upon the Heart Of everlasting Love. 6 Deep on the Palms of both my Hands I have engrav'd her Name; My Hands shall raise her ruin'd Wall, And build her broken Frame.
