My name in Mothers Prayer


�Twas in the days of careless youth, when life was fair and bright,
And ne�er a tear, and scarce a fear o�ercast my day and night,
As, in the quiet eventide, I passed her kneeling there,
That just one word, my name, I heard my name in mother�s prayer.

I thought but little of it then, tho� rev�rence touched my heart,
To her whose love sought from above for me the better part;
But when life�s sterner battles came with many a subtle snare,
Oft that one word, in thought I heard my name in mother�s prayer.

I wandered on, and heeded not, God�s oft repeated call
To turn from sin, to live for Him, and trust to Him my all;
But when at last, convinced of sin, I sank in deep despair,
My hope awoke, when mem�ry spoke my name in mother�s prayer.

That pleading heart, that soul so tried, has gone into her rest,
But still with me for aye shall be the mem�ry of her trust.
And when I cross the Jordan�s tide, and meet her over there,
We�ll praise the Lord, Who blessed that word, my name in mother�s prayer.
