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]
Pray For Your Boy Tonight
