Will You Answer Mother’s Prayer Tonight?

Author: Mary Bernstecher Hymnal: Alexander's Hymns No. 3 #142 (1915) Hymnal Title: Alexander's Hymns No. 3 First Line: Many years ago a mother fond and true Refrain First Line: Will you answer mother’s prayer tonight Lyrics: 1 Many years ago a mother fond and true, Faintly breath’d a dying prayer for you Ere her soul had passed beyond the skies so blue; Will you answer mother’s prayer tonight? Refrain: Will you answer mother’s prayer tonight? Will you answer mother’s prayer tonight? On the golden shore, she’s pleading as of yore; Will you answer mother’s prayer tonight? 2 By her side you lisped a simple childish prayer, Asking God to keep you in His care; Mem’ry now recalls her humbly kneeling there; Will you answer mother’s prayer tonight? [Refrain] 3 Then there came to her a dark and dreary day, When she learn’d her boy had gone astray; Pleadingly she begged you not to turn away; Will you answer mother’s prayer tonight? [Refrain] 4 Tho’ you turned aside from mother’s last embrace, Still she longs to see you face to face, In the Saviour’s home, sav’d by His love and grace; Will you answer mother’s prayer tonight? [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Many years ago a mother fond and true]
