To Mothers First Of All
There's one whom God has tapped from birth
By His own special call
To build His kingdom here on earth,
And "Mother" says it all.
By His own special call
To build His kingdom here on earth,
And "Mother" says it all.
No one can know a mother's heart,
Her hopes, her joys, her fears;
And how she ably plays her part
Midst tests and trials and tears.
She loves the child who goes astray
And comforts each who cries.
She guards her flock by night and day
And will until she dies.
And if a child has gone before
Across that great divide,
Her sorrow here she'll feel no more
Once they stand side by side.
She gets small thanks, earth's pay is poor,
Her labors never end.
But she is rich who knows for sure
Her children are her friends.
The giants of earth will step aside
When Christ each name does call
To give rewards for deeds of life:
To mothers first of all.
