Mother's Last Word To Her Son

I never can forget the day
 When my dear Mother did sweetly say
 You are leavin', 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
 And is watchin' 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
 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, now
 And you have a burden, he'll make them light
 And he sure will guide you all in the right

 Now when I think of my Mother dear
 How often she did, and try to cheer
 My wandering mind, whilst going astray,
 By saying, "Son, accept the way."
