"Thou hast also given me the shield of Thy salvation: and Thy right hand hath holden me up, and Thy gentleness hath made me great" (Psalm 18:35). We were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children" (1 Thessalonians 2:7).
How gracious is the gentleness
Extending God's salvation,
That still in mercy stoops to bless
Through every situation.
As gentle as a loving nurse
With children who are cherished,
He lifts us from the fearful curse
By which we would have perished.
He holds us with His own right hand
Extended from above.
It was such gentleness that planned
And rescued us in love.
Your gentleness has made us great,
O Lord, through Your embrace.
So teach us how to demonstrate
Your gentleness by grace.
