¶Liedtext

She calls upon the Father of creation With every act of kindness for our sake She seeks his grace to guard and guide her children To raise us up in righteousness and strengthen us in faith ''Chorus:'' And as each labor of her love becomes an offering Gifts upon the altar of her home He hears her silent prayer and labors with her there To mold our hearts; to shape our very souls Every selfless deed is her petition That bears aloft a fervent wordless plea And like a prayer ascending into heaven Every quiet sacrifice entreats him silently ''(Repeat Chorus)'' Each word of hope or counsel Each sorrow that she shares Each comfort that she offers Is a mother's silent prayer Of high estate or poor and lowly station 'mid mortal praise or by the world unknown Every work of motherhood's devotion Rises up to plead for her before the Father's throne. ''(Repeat Chorus)''
