O MOTHER’S LOVE

O mother's love,

sweet mothers love,

The gift divine from heav'n above,

It lifts our thoughts

to realms of light

And bids us see the good and right;

O MOTHER’S LOVE

God knew the need of humankind,

The depths of sin

our souls might find,

And so to keep us pure and fair,

We have a mother’s

love and pray'r.

O mother's love,

the sweetest known,

The richest earthly gift we own,

For it our thanks shall clearly wing

To reach the throne

of God, our King.

For blessing known this festal hour;

O mother's love, so blest and true,

That guides and keeps

our lifetime through:

Through sacrifice and service dear,

It is to us a precious gift

That lives to bless

With lifted hearts we send above

Our gratitude for mother's love.
