MOTHER'S PRAYER

The beautiful clouds go floating by
We sing of the Savior up on high.
The glittering stars in the clear night air
Echo the words of Mother
's Prayer.

The Shepherd and sheep out on the hills
The nightly watch and wind so chill
Bring back the last ones to the fold
And Mother
's Prayer with more than gold.

Wandering ones so far away
Return to the fold at close of day.
Back to the home of love and care
Echoing the words of Mother
's Prayer.

The wonderful prayers will be answered
As we journey down life
's path.
Our worldly care be free as air
If we
'll only heed our Mother's Prayer.

So farewell to sin and sorrow
That Heavenly home is bright and far
And will guide us on the morrow
If we
'll only listen to Mother's Prayer.
