Author: Fred P. Morris Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4197 First Line: My mother's hand is on my brow Refrain First Line: O mother, when I think of thee Lyrics: 1. 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.
2. 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]
3. 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]
4. 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]
5. 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] Languages: English Tune Title: [My mother's hand is on my brow]
