Matth. 23. 37. How often would I have gathered thy Children together, as a Hen gathereth her Chickens under her Wings.
1 Thy Bowels unto Sinners, Lord, Is showed by the Hen, Who in her care of all her young Doth far exceed some Men.
1 THy Bowels unto Sinners, Lord, Is shewed by the Hen, Who in her care of all her young Doth far exceed some Men.
2 How will she fly into the face Of such who would destroy Her pretty Brood! she can't endure They should them once annoy.
3 But ah! thy bowels far exceed All Creatures here below; For thou for Sinners, Lord, didst bleed, Compassion great to show.
