Chorus: O mother, when I think of thee, ’Tis but a step to Calvary; Thy gentle hand upon my brow Is leading me to Jesus now. 2 Once more I see that look of pain, The anguish in those eyes again; My heart is sad, for well I know My sin has caused this bitter woe. [Chorus] 3 While others scorned me in their pride She gently drew me to her side; When all the world has turned away, My mother stood by me that day. [Chorus] 4 The memories of bygone years, My mother’s love, my mother’s tears, The thought of all her constant care Doth bring the answer to her prayer. [Chorus] 5 I’m coming home, by sin beset, For Jesus loves me even yet; My mother’s love brings home to me The greater love of Calvary. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [My mother’s hand is on my brow]

My mother's songs

Author: Wm. McEwan Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Mother First Line: As I lay one night adreaming Lyrics: 1 As I lay one night adreaming Of the days that now are gone, I was carried back to childhood To a quiet little home; After years of sin and sorrow I had so’t my home once more And I heard my mother singing Songs she sang in days of yore. Abide with me: fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide; When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2 Hark! the singing now is over, I can hear the voice in prayer, For her child she’s gently pleading Kneeling by the old arm chair, ‘Tis a prayer of faith and pity, Yet her words with love we’ll ring, Then she stops—I pause to listen, I can hear her sweetly sing. Jesus lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high. 3 But alas! I’m only dreaming Ne’er here I’ll see her face again; Many years has that dear mother In a quiet churchyard lain, Tho’ she’s gone to her Redeemer, Yet her words with love still ring, By her grave in dreams while standing I can hear her sweetly sing. Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe on His gentle breast, There, by His love o’ershaded, Sweetly my soul shall rest. Used With Tune: [As I lay one night a-dreaming]

Unless the LORD the House Shall Build

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: Ten Commandments 4th Commandment (Honor your father and mother) Lyrics: 1 Unless the Lord the house shall build, the weary builders toil in vain; unless the LORD the city shield, the guards a useless watch maintain. 2 In vain you rise at morning break, in vain your late-night vigils keep, and draining days of work partake— those whom God loves fall fast asleep. 3 Yes, children are a great reward, a gift from God in very truth; as quiver full of arrows stored are children giv'n in days of youth. 4 How blest are those whose lives are cheered by children's growth in strength and grace. Within their house no foes are feared, for God keeps watch within that place. Scripture: Psalm 127 Used With Tune: O WALY WALY Text Sources: Psalter, 1912, alt.
