Think. Consider.

O young babes in Bethlehem

Lying lifeless in their innocence

Slain in vain they lie

Slain for a goal not achieved

Matthew 2.16


Weep, Rachel, weep

Refuse to be comforted

Weep, Rachel weep

Your children are no more

Jeremiah 31.15


Think on this and cry for mercy

Let your heart awake and mourn

Even beasts nurse their young

Not so, with our daughters

Lamentations 4.3


People, lift your hands to Him

For the lives of your children

Slain in vain they lie

At the head of this street

Lamentations 2.19


Weep, Rachel, weep

Refuse to be comforted

Weep, Rachel weep

Your children are no more

Jeremiah 31.15


This I call to mind even now

Remember the steadfast love of my Lord

His mercies new again and again

Therefore I have hope

Lamentations 3.21-23
