My Mother's Songs

Author: J. J. B. Hymnal: The New Praiseworthy #236 (1916) First Line: How often now I ponder at night when all is still Refrain First Line: O mother, sing a song to me you sang in days of yore Lyrics: 1 How often now I ponder at night when all is still, Until my heart with longing and sadness then does fill: I seem to see my mother, her loving face aglow; She's sitting near me once again, and singing soft and low. Chorus: O mother, sing a song to me you sand in days of your; O sing some sweet old melody you once sang o'er and oe'r: Those dear old songs of childhood, I love them more and more! O mother, sing a song to me you sand in days of yore. 2 How soft were her caresses when cares on her were laid; How swift into contentment our sorrows then would fade: No other voice bu mother's could drive the tears away; No mem'ry of my childhood can sweeter be today. [Chorus] 3 Now that the years have vanished and childhood days have passed, The years at home with mother they hurried, O, so fast! But mem'ry still brings to me a picture ever dear; 'Tis always that of mother, whose voice I long to hear. [Chorus] Topics: Special Selections Languages: English Tune Title: [How often now I ponder at night when all is still]
