As Rachel Mourned the Children

Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Children Christ among the children whose needs are ignored today; Children Prayer for awareness of needs of children today First Line: As Rachel mourned her children Lyrics: As Rachel mourned her children King Herod sent to die, good people stood there, silent, and no one questioned why, why children had to suffer to save a king his throne, why people stood by watching, and let them die alone. In every town and city the Herods of our day ignore the needs of children, so they can have their way. Good people still stand silent, few dare to pay the price; and mothers still are weeping at each new sacrifice. Above their cries of anguish a child's voice can be heard, the stable-child of Mary, God's living, loving Word: "Your children thirst and hunger. Now, tell us, tell us why You let the Herods triumph And sentence us to die?" Forgive us, Holy Jesus, we did not see you there among the countless children committed to our care. Stir us to break our silence to give your love a voice, till every weeping mother has reason to rejoice. Scripture: Matthew 5:6 Used With Tune: HEROD'S LEGACY
