A Mother's Last Word To her Son

    I never can forget the day
    When my dear mother did sweetly say
    "You are leaving, my darling boy,
    You always have been your mother's joy."

    Now as you leave in this world to roam
    You may not be able to get back home
    But remember Jesus Who lives on high
    Is watching over you with a mighty eye.

    The world is so full of old sin  and woe
    And many sorrows everywhere you go
    But remember Jesus Who's everywhere
    If you get in trouble now, He'll meet you there

    If you'll bow down before His face
    And trust in Him for His saving grace
    And you have a burden He'll make then light
    And He sure will guide you in the right

    Now when I think of my mother dear
    And how often she did [felt her] cheer
    My wondering mind was going astray
    Was saying son, "Accept the way."
