Author: R. Deane Postlethwaite Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #468 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The care the eagle gives her young,
safe in her lofty nest,
Is like the tender love of God
for us made manifest.
2 As when the time to venture comes,
she stirs them out to flight,
So we are pressed to boldly try,
to strive for daring height.
3 And if we flutter helplessly,
as fledgling eagles fall,
Beneath us lift God's mighty wings
to bear us, one and all. Topics: God Fatherhood, Motherhood of; God Power and Majesty of; Year A Proper 6 Scripture: Exodus 19:4 Languages: English Tune Title: CRIMOND
