When I was but a little child
how well I recollect
How I would grieve my mother
with my folly and neglect;
And now that she has gone
to Heav地 I miss her tender care:
O Savior, tell my mother, I値l be there!
Tell mother I値l be there,
in answer to her prayer;
This message, bless鐡 Savior,
to her bear!
Tell mother I値l be there,
Heav地痴 joys with her to share;
Yes, tell my darling mother I値l be there.
Though I was often wayward,
she was always kind and good;
So patient, gentle, loving
when I acted rough and rude;
My childhood griefs and trials
she would gladly with me share:
O Savior, tell my mother, I値l be there!
Tell mother I値l be there,
in answer to her prayer;
This message, bless鐡 Savior,
to her bear!
Tell mother I値l be there,
Heav地痴 joys with her to share;
Yes, tell my darling mother I値l be there.
When I became a prodigal,
and left the old rooftree,
She almost broke her loving heart
in mourning after me;
And day and night she prayed to God
to keep me in His care:
O Savior, tell my mother, I値l be there!
Tell mother I値l be there,
in answer to her prayer;
This message, bless鐡 Savior,
to her bear!
Tell mother I値l be there,
Heav地痴 joys with her to share;
Yes, tell my darling mother I値l be there.
One day a message came to me,
it bade me quickly come
If I would see my mother
ere the Savior took her home;
I promised her, before she died,
for heaven to prepare:
O Savior, tell my mother, I値l be there!
Tell mother I値l be there,
in answer to her prayer;
This message, bless鐡 Savior,
to her bear!
Tell mother I値l be there,
Heav地痴 joys with her to share;
Yes, tell my darling mother I値l be there.
