Sweetest Mother

Author: Gertrude Stoddard Dennstedt Appears in 26 hymnals First Line: She’s a little old fashioned Refrain First Line: She’s a little old fashioned Lyrics: 1 She’s a little old fashioned, That sweet mother of mine, There are many whose beauty Will my mother’s outshine; She’s a little old fashioned, As I plainly can see, But she is for ever; Sweetest mother to me. Refrain: She’s a little old fashioned, But she’s sweeter each day, I adore her plain features, And her thin locks of gray, There’s a glory around her, God abides it may be And she is for ever Sweetest mother to me. 2 She’s a little old fashioned, That sweet mother of mine, Though even her plainness Now my heart-strings entwine, Other hands may be whiter, But none other so dear, For they smoothed my pillow, For many a year. [Refrain] 3 She’s a little old fashioned, She stays closely at home, So calm and contented, Although others may roam, And in tender young childhood, ‘Twas that home sheltered me, And she who so graced it, Dearest ever shall be.

Refrain: O, Jesus is coming soon, The judgment will then begin; O what if our Lord, this moment should come For those who are free from sin, O then would it bring you joy, Or sorrow and deep despair; When the Lord in glory comes, We’ll meet Him up in the air. 2 I’ll look on the great white throne, Before it the ransom’d stand; No longer are tears, no sorrow is known Nor death in that goodly land. My Savior has gone before, Preparing the way for me; Soon we’ll meet to part no more Thru time or eternity.
