Remember Mother’s Prayer

Will a girl for­get her mo­ther’s pray­er

Though she has left her ten­der care?

Out in the world

though all alone

Her mo­ther prays for her at home.

Oh

come to Je­sus

come to­day

Come back and walk the nar­row way;

You can’t re­sist the pow­er of sin

Without the pow­er of God with­in.

Will a girl for­get the last em­brace

The anx­ious look on mo­ther’s face?

As from the door she stepped that day

Out in the world to make her way.

No

nev­er in the years to come

Will she for­get that mo­ther

home;

Sin may erase all thought of care

Down in the heart that love is there.

It may be that per­haps she’s dead

And mo­ther’s pray­ers have all been said;

Tonight you’re in the world alone

Without a mo­ther

friend or home.

The mo­ther’s prayer is nev­er lost;

Faith’s an­swer comes at any cost;

Tears

pray­ers

are bot­tled in the sky

Though af­ter mother’s gone on high.

Oh

child of ma­ny pray­ers and tears

You’ve wan­dered

oh

so ma­ny years;

Oh

leave sin’s path

it is not gain;

Its pass­ing joys are but a name.
