:1.Now shall my inward joys arise,
:And burst into a song;
:Almighty love inspires my heart,
:And pleasure tunes my tongue.
 
 
:2.God on his thirsty Zion hill
:Some mercy drops has thrown,
:And solemn oaths have bound his love
:To shower salvation down.
 
 
:3.Why do we then indulge our fears,
:Suspicions, and complaints?
:Is he a God, and shall his grace
:Grow weary of his saints?
 
 
:4.Can a kind woman e'er forget
:The infant of her womb?
:And 'mongst a thousand tender thoughts
:Her suckling have no room?
 
 
:5."Yet," saith the Lord, "should nature change,
:And mothers monsters prove,
:Zion still dwells upon the heart
:Of everlasting love.
 
 
:6."Deep on the palms of both my hands
:I have engraved her name;
:My hands shall raise her ruined walls,
:And build her broken frame?"
