Text: | When I Heard My Mother Prayer |
Author: | Mrs. Frank A. Breck |
Tune: | [I rebelled against my Saviour] |
Composer: | E. Lester Thurman |
1 I rebelled against my Saviour,
From His love I went astray,
But my heart would oft reproach me,
When I heard my mother pray.
Chorus:
Bless the Lord from praying mothers,
And the mother-love that stays;
Help to save some weary wand’rer—
Him for whom some mother prays.
2 Long I sought for worldly pleasures
That so soon must flee away,
Heeding not the fadeless treasures,
Till I heard my mother pray. [Chorus]
3 Naught I cared for mother’s Bible,
That she pondered day by day,
But God’s “still small voice” would whisper,
When I heard my mother pray. [Chorus]
4 Mother’s faith in God grew stronger,
Nothing could her soul dismay,
And I could resist no longer,
But at last have learned to pray. [Chorus]
5 Let me pray for all my brothers,
Though they wander far away;
Those who have no praying mothers,
But for whom some heart should pray. [Chorus]
