God of the whole earth,
our Maker and Redeemer--
Lord of Hosts, Holy One of Israel,
most holy and awesome is your name.
No more could a mother forget her nursing
child
or fail to show compassion for the child
of her
womb, than that you should forget us, O
God.
You have sent redemption to your people,
for it is not your will that one little
one
should be lost.
