THE MOTHER'S HYMN.
117
Such thanks the blessed Mary gave,
 When, from her lap, the Holy Child
Sent from on high to seek and save
 The lost of earth, looked up and smiled.

All-Gracious! grant, to those who bear
 A mother's charge, the strength and light
To lead the steps that own their care
 In ways of Love, and Truth, and Right.
