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’n I Miss Her Tender Care:
O Savior, Tell My Mother I’ll Be There!
Tell Mother I’ll Be There, In Answer To Her Prayer;
This Message, Blessed Savior, To Her Bear!
Tell Mother I’ll Be There, Heav’n’s Joys With Her To Share;
Yes, Tell My Darling Mother I’ll 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’ll 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’ll 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’ll Be There!
