The prayer you said, the songs you sung, The tales you told when I was young Inspire my life, my heart, my tongue, Mother mine, oh mother mine. t ( I’he sterner virtues that you taught, Father mine, oh father mine. The victories won —the battles fought Father mine, oli father mine. Your courage gave and made me strong To shield tlie weak: put down tin* wrong, To upward lead the eager throng, Father mine, oh, father mine. I When knowledge comes with treasure rare, Teacher mine, oh teacher mine. You taught how the boon to share, Teacher mine, oh teacher mine. You lead me on in wisdom’s ways Through pleasant paths and tangled maze. You cleared the way, dispelled the haze. Teacher mine, oil, tecaher mine. I The home, the school, the church com bine, Mother, father, teacher mine, To touch the soul with life divine, Mother, father, teacher mine.
