1 Will a girl forget her mother’s prayer,
Though she has left her tender care?
Out in the world, though all alone,
Her mother prays for her at home.
Refrain:
Oh, come to Jesus, come today,
Come back and walk the narrow way;
You can’t resist the power of sin
Without the power of God within.
2 Will a girl forget the last embrace,
The anxious look on mother’s face?
As from the door she stepped that day,
Out in the world to make her way. [Refrain]
3 No, never in the years to come,
Will she forget that mother, home;
Sin may erase all thought of care,
Down in the heart that love is there. [Refrain]
4 It may be that perhaps she’s dead,
And mother’s prayers have all been said;
Tonight you’re in the world alone,
Without a mother, friend or home. [Refrain]
5 The mother’s prayer is never lost;
Faith’s answer comes at any cost;
Tears, prayers, are bottled in the sky,
Though after mother’s gone on high. [Refrain]
6 Oh, child of many prayers and tears,
You’ve wandered, oh, so many years;
Oh, leave sin’s path, it is not gain;
Its passing joys are but a name. [Refrain]
