Mother's Last Word To Her Son

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

You have a burden

He'll make then light

And he sure will guide you in the right

Now when I think of my mother dear

How often she did felt her cheer

My wondering mind was going astray

Was saying son, accept the way
