Hymnal: Laudis Corona #118 (1880) Hymnal Title: Laudis Corona First Line: Mother dear, oh! pray for me Refrain First Line: Mother dear, remember me Lyrics: 1 Mother dear, oh! pray for me,
Whilst far from heav'n and thee
I wander in a fragile bark,
On life's tempestous sea.
O virgin Mother, from thy throne,
So bright in bliss above,
Protect thy child, and cheer my path
With thy sweet smile of love.
Chorus:
Mother dear, remember me,
And never cease thy care
Till in heav'n eternally
Thy love and bliss I share.
2 Mother dear, oh pray for me,
Should pleasure's syren lay
E'er tempt thy child to wander far
From Virtue's paths away:
When thorns beset life's devious way,
And darkling waters flow,
Then, Mary, aid thy weeping child,
Thyself a Mother show.
Mother dear, etc.
3 Mother dear, oh pray for me,
When all looks bright and fair,
That I may all my danger see,
For surely then 'tis near;
A Mother's pray'r how much we need,
If prosperous be the ray,
That paints with glow the flow'ry mead
Which blossoms in our way.
Mother, dear, etc.
