| 1 One night as I lay dreaming Of the days now past and gone, My tho’ts ran back to childhood, To a quiet country home. ‘Mid years of careless wand’ring I had sought my home once more; There I heard my mother singing Strains of songs she sang before. Ask the Savior to help you; Comfort, strengthen and keep you; He is willing to aid you, He will carry you thro. 2 Tho’ I was only dreaming, Her sweet voice I heard in song, And then I saw her kneeling For her boy that had gone wrong; A pray’r of love ascended To the throne of love and light; There her voice with music blended, “Jesus, guide my boy tonight.” Jesus, Savior, pilot me Over life’s tempestuous sea! 3 When I awoke from dreaming, Scenes of old seem’d strange and new; My heart grew warm and tender To my mother fond and true; Tho’ her sweet voice has vanish’d And her pray’rs ascend no more, I can hear the songs repeated, Songs she sang to me of yore. Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee. | Inspiring Gospel Solos and Duets No. 1 #80 (1943) |
