Proverbs 6:20

• [Pro 6:20] Memories Of Mother

  My mother’s hand is on my brow, Her gentle voice is pleading now; Across the years so marred by sin What memories of love steal in! Refrain O mother, when I think of thee, ’Tis but a step to Calvary; Thy gentle hand upon my brow Is leading me to Jesus now. Once more I see that look of pain, The anguish in those eyes again; My heart is sad, for well I know My sin has caused this bitter woe. Refrain While others scorned me in their pride She gently drew me to her side; When all the world has turned away, My mother stood by me that day. Refrain The memories of bygone years, My mother’s love, my mother’s tears, The tho’t of all her constant care Doth bring the answer to her prayer. Refrain I’m coming home, by sin beset, For Jesus loves me even yet; My mother’s love brings home to me The greater love of Calvary. Refrain

Proverbs 23:24

• [Pro 23:24] Lord Of Life And King Of Glory

  Lord of life and King of glory, Who didst deign a child to be, Cradled on a mother’s bosom, Throned upon a mother’s knee: For the children Thou hast given We must answer unto Thee! Since the day the blessèd mother Thee, the world’s Redeemer, bore, Thou hast crowned us with an honor Women never knew before; And that we may bear it meetly We must seek Thine aid the more. Grant us, then, pure hearts and patient, That in all we do or say Little souls our deeds may copy, And be never led astray; Little feet our steps may follow In a safe and narrow way. When our growing sons and daughters Look on life with eager eyes, Grant us then a deeper insight And new powers of sacrifice: Hope to trust them, faith to guide them, Love that nothing good denies. May we keep our holy calling Stainless in its fair renown, That when all the work is over And we lay the burdens down, Then the children Thou hast given Still may be our joy and crown.
