My mother

Hymnal: Linden Harp #58 (1855) First Line: I had a faithful mother Lyrics: 1 I had a faithful mother, How oft in childhood's years She soothed my little troubles, And kiss'd away my tears! With every wish I hasten'd, Instinctive to her side, Nor dream'd that I could lose her, My constant faithful guide. 2 I had a praying mother, She led me to the shrine, Whence drawing heav'nly wisdom, She taught me things divine; Her lamp was trimm'd and burning, Illuming all the way, That leads thro' death's dark valley Up to eternal day. 3 I've now an angel mother, For she hath left this land, And found a better country-- A home at God's right hand. Could she now see my sorrow, I know she'd pity me; God, help me to subdue it, Lest she my sin might see. 4 O had I still a mother, I'd be more mild and meek; I'd speak in kindly accents, As she was wont to speak. But these are vain resolvings-- I'll try to prove more true To those whom God hath spared me, Ere they are angels, too. Languages: English Tune Title: MY MOTHER
