The hallowed seat with listening ear;
And gentle words that mother would give,
To fit me to die and teach me to live.
She told me that shame would never betide,
With truth for my creed and God for my guide;
She taught me to lisp my earliest prayer,

And gentle words that mother would give,
To fit me to die and teach me to live.
She told me that shame would never betide,
With truth for my creed and God for my guide;
She taught me to lisp my earliest prayer,
