Lyrics

When mother pray'd! O precious hour
When God would come in mighty pow'r!
O mem'ry sweet! O hallow'd place
Where God did shine in mother's face.

When mother pray'd! Ah, then I knew
Within my soul that God was true;
I could no longer doubt His love,
But yielded all, born from above.

And though the years may come and go,
This heart of mine can never know
A sweeter time than that blest hour,
When Jesus came in saving pow'r.

Though other scenes may be forgot,
While life shall last this one cannot;
When mother pray'd! O peace divine!
My mother's God today is mine.

When mother pray'd, she found sweet rest!
When mother pray'd her soul was blest!
Her heart and mind on Christ was stay'd,
And God was there when mother pray'd.
