THE MOTHER'S HYMN.
117
Such thanks the blessed Mary gave,When, from her lap, the Holy ChildSent from on high to seek and saveThe lost of earth, looked up and smiled.
All-Gracious! grant, to those who bearA mother's charge, the strength and lightTo lead the steps that own their careIn ways of Love, and Truth, and Right.
