Author: Mary BernstecherHymnal: Alexander's Hymns No. 3 #142 (1915)First Line: Many years ago a mother fond and trueRefrain First Line: Will you answer mother’s prayer tonightLyrics: 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: EnglishTune Title: [Many years ago a mother fond and true]
