Zion mourns in fear and anguish

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #367 (1893) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book Lyrics: 1 ZION mourns in fear and anguish, Zion, city of our God: "Ah!" she saith, "how sore I languish, Bowed beneath so hard a load; God hath sure forsook me quite, And forgot my sorry plight;"-- Nay, the Lord, who chose thee, spares thee, For within His heart He bears thee. 2 "Once," she mourns, "He promised plainly That His help should aye be near, Yet I now must seek Him vainly In my days of woe and fear. Will He then forevermore Keep His anger, and no more Help His chosen generation In their present tribulation?" 3 "Zion, surely I have loved thee!" Thus to her the Highest saith, "True that many woes have proved thee, And thy soul is sad to death, Yet now cast thy griefs behind; Where wilt thou a mother find, For her own child not providing, Or in hatred with it chiding?" 4 "Nay, and couldst thou find a mother Who forgot her infant's claim, Or whose wrath her love could smother, Yet would I be still the same; For my truth is pledged to thee, Zion, thou art dear to me, I within my heart have set thee, And I never can forget thee." 5 "Let not Satan make thee craven, He can fight but cannot harm; On my hands thy name is graven, And thy shield is still my arm. How, then, could it ever be That I failed to think of thee, Build the wall of my own city, And look down on thee with pity?" 6 "Thou before my eyes art ever, In my bosom thou art laid As a nursing child, and never Shalt thou lack my timely aid. Me and thee no time, nor stress, War, nor danger, nor distress, No, nor Satan's self shall sever,-- Only be thou faithful ever." Topics: The Cross and Comfort Languages: English
