Author: Joseph H. Weber Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9681 First Line: Can a boy forget his mother’s prayer Refrain First Line: Come back, my boy, come back, I say Lyrics: 1 Can a boy forget his mother’s prayer,
When he has wandered, God knows where?
It’s down the path of death and shame,
But mother’s prayers are heard the same!
Refrain:
Come back, my boy, come back, I say,
And walk now in thy mother’s way;
Come back, my boy, come back, I say,
And walk now in thy mother’s way.
2 Can a boy forget his mother’s face,
Whose heart was kind and filled with grace?
Her loving voice it echoes sweet:
She waits, she longs, her boy to meet! [Refrain]
3 Can a boy forget his mother’s door,
From which he wandered years before?
With tears and sighs she said, Goodbye!
Meet me, my boy, beyond the sky! [Refrain]
4 Can a boy forget that she is dead,
Though many years have passed and fled?
Those tears, that prayer, that sweet Goodbye;
She waits to welcome thee on high! [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Can a boy forget his mother's prayer]
