God our Maker, we
rejoice in you,
Though the mountains
may depart
and the hills be
removed,
your steadfast love
will not depart from
us.
Even though a woman
may forget
her nursing child, you
will not forget us.
We will be glad in you—you
have given us
the Good Shepherd. He will always
seek the lamb gone
astray.
