The Care the Eagle Gives Her Young

R. Deane Postlethwaite • English

Primary Scripture: Exodus 19:4

Verse 1

The care the eagle gives her young, safe in her lofty nest, is like the tender love of God for us made manifest.

Verse 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.

Verse 3

And if we flutter helplessly, as fledgling eagles fall, beneath us lift God's mighty wings to bear us, one and all.
