Mother's Last Word To Her Son lyrics

I never can forget the day

When my dear mother did sweetly say

"You are leaving, my darling boy,

You always have been your mother's joy.

Now as you leave this world to roam

You may not be able to get back home

But remember Jesus, who lives on high

Is watching over you with a mighty eye

The world is so full of old sin and woe

And many sorrows everywhere you go

But remember Jesus who's everywhere

If you get in trouble now, He'll meet you there

If you'll bow down before His face

And trust in Him for His saving grace, now

And you have a burden, He'll make them light

And He sure will guide you all in the right"

Now when I think of my mother dear

How often she did then try to cheer

My wandering mind whilst going astray

By saying: "Son, accept the way."
