O Blessed Day Of Motherhood

 

 

 

"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father
of heavenly lights, who does not change like the shifting shadows."
(James 1:17)

O blessed day of motherhood!

We lift our hearts in praise,

To thank the Source of every good:

Thy joy crowns all our days.

O God, our Father, bless this day,

Enrich its golden store

Of blessed mother love, and may

Thy children Thee adore. 


O gracious day of motherhood!

Our faith, by God increased,

Hath each alluring foe withstood;

Our souls He hath released. 

O God, our Father, bless this day,

Enrich its golden store

Of gracious mother love, and may

Thy children Thee adore. 


O precious day of motherhood!

Teach us in Christ to find

The greater gifts of brotherhood;

Bring peace to all mankind.

O God, our Father, bless this day,

Enrich its golden store

Of precious mother love, and may

Thy children Thee adore. 


O wondrous day of motherhood!

Thy love to all abound;

Beside the cross Mary once stood;

Again let love be crowned.

O God, our Father, bless this day,

Enrich its golden store

Of wondrous mother love, and may 

Thy children Thee adore.
