Author: Mrs. T. M. Griffin Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8866 First Line: Once I was pure as dews that fall Refrain First Line: Then pray for your boy tonight! Lyrics: 1 Once I was pure as dews that fall From the morning clouds above. Now I am held in the world’s dark thrall, Away from the Father’s love. Refrain: Then pray for your boy tonight! Tonight, oh, pray for me! Pray God to give your boy the light, To lead him to Heaven and thee. 2 Weary the world, and dark and wild, And with many a fatal snare, As onward sweeps the surging tide, Away from God and prayer. [Refrain] 3 Mother, my heart is hard and cold, And is blighted with grief and care; Pray for your boy as oft of old, When a child beside your chair. [Refrain] 4 Tho’ in the toils of sin your boy Yet is wandering far from home, Often he yearns for the olden joy, Before he began to roam. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Once I was pure as dews that fall]
