Author: E. C. Baird Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16053 First Line: From the bygone days of childhood Refrain First Line: Mother and the Book of God! Lyrics: 1 From the bygone days of childhood
Comes a picture quaint and rare—
One of beauty, and so very dear to me;
’Tis a picture of my mother
Sitting in her old armchair,
With the open Bible resting on her knee.
Refrain:
Mother and the Book of God!
’Twas to her both staff and rod;
And when in dreams her lovely face I see,
God’s open book is always on her knee.
2 As she softly turned its pages,
How her gentle face would glow!
And her heart from all the cares of life seemed free,
As she read each precious promise,
Full of blessedness to know,
From the open Bible resting on her knee. [Refrain]
3 When I hear the world’s voice calling,
When my feet would go astray,
All the dark deceitful things are made to flee,
When I think of my dear mother
As she sat to read and pray,
With the open Bible resting on her knee. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [From the bygone days of childhood]
