[Dad's key: E & F#]

Verse 1
My (G)Mother's hand is (C)on my brow,
Her (D7)gentle voice is (G)pleading now;
A (B7)cross the (Em)years so (Am)marred by sin,
What (G)memories of love (D7)steal (G)in.

Verse 2
Once (G)more I see that (C)look of pain,
She (D7)gently draws me with those (G)eyes again;
My (B7)heart is (Em)sad, for (Am)well I know,
My (G)sin has caused her (D7)bitter (G)woe.

Chorus
Oh, (G)Mother, when I (A7)think of thee,
'Tis (D7)but a step to (G)Calvary;
Thy (E7)gentle hand u(A7)pon my (D)brow
Is (G)leading me to Je(D7)sus (G)now.

Verse 3
The (G)memories of (C)bygone years,
My (D7)Mother's love, my (G)Mother's tears,
The (B7)thought of (Em)all her (Am)constant care
Doth (G)bring the answer (D7)to her (G)prayer.

Verse 4
I'm (G)coming home, by (C)sin beset,
For (D7)Jesus loves me (G)even yet;
My (B7)Mother's (Em)love brings (Am)home to me
His (G)greater love of Cal(D7)va(G)ry.

[Repeat Chorus]
