Memories of Mother.

Author: Fred P. Morris Hymnal: Victory Songs #165 (1920) 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! Chorus: 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. [Chorus] 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. [Chorus] 4 The memories of bygone years, My mother’s love, my mother’s tears, The thought of all her constant care Doth bring the answer to her prayer. [Chorus] 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. [Chorus] Topics: Mother; Solos Languages: English Tune Title: [My mother’s hand is on my brow]
