Waiting, waiting, grand and fair; Yea, the wounded hand still knocketh, And beneath the thorn-wreath'd hair Beam the patient eyes, so tender, Of thy Savior waiting there; Wilt thou keep him waiting there?

Chorus: My name in mother's pray'r. My name in mother's pray'r. That just one word, my name I heard. I heard my name in mother's pray'r. 2 I thought but little of it then, tho' rev'rence touch'd my heart, To her whose love sought from above for me the better part; But when life's sterner battles came with many a subtle snare, Oft that one word, in thought I heard my name in mother's pray'r. [Chorus] 3 I wandered on, and heeded not God's oft repeated call To turn from sin, to live for Him, and trust to Him my all; But when at last, convinced of sin, I sank in deep despair, My hope awoke, when mem'ry spoke my name in mother's pray'r. [Chorus] 4 That pleading heart, that soul so tried, has gone into her rest, But still with me for aye shall be the mem'ry of her trust, And when I cross the Jordan's tide, and meet her over there, We'll praise the Lord, who bless'd that word, my name in mother's pray'r. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: ['Twas in the days of careless youth, when life was fair and bright]
