Author: J. W. Van DeVenter Hymnal: Christian Hymns #336 (1935) First Line: I never can forget the day Refrain First Line: Whene'er I think of her so dear Lyrics: 1 I never can forget the day
I heard my mother kindly say:
"You’re leaving now my tender care;
Remember, child, your mother’s pray'r."
Chorus:
Whene’er I think of her so dear,
I feel her angel spirit near;
A voice comes floating on the air,
Reminding me of mother’s pray'r.
2 I never can forget the voice
That always made my heart rejoice;
Tho' I have wandered, God knows where,
Still I remember mother’s pray'r.
Chorus:
Whene’er I think of her so dear,
I feel her angel spirit near;
A voice comes floating on the air,
Reminding me of mother’s pray'r.
3 Tho' years have gone, I can’t forget
Those words of love--I hear them yet;
I see her by the old armchair,
My mother dear, in humble pray'r.
Chorus:
Whene’er I think of her so dear,
I feel her angel spirit near;
A voice comes floating on the air,
Reminding me of mother’s pray'r.
4 I never can forget the hour
I found the Saviour’s cleansing pow'r;
My sin and guilt he canceled there;
’Twas there He answered mother’s pray'r.
Chorus:
O praise the Lord for saving grace!
We'll meet up yonder face to face,
The home above together share,
In answer to my mother's pray'r.
