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.
