SATURDAY NIGHT,

Placing the little hats all in a row,
Ready for church OH the morrow you know +;
Washing wee faces and little black fists,
Getting them ready and fit to be kissed
Putting them into clean garments and white,
That is what mothers are doing tonight.
Calling the little ones all round her chair,
Hearing them lisp their soft evening prayer,
Telling them stories Of Jesus of old,
Who loves TO gather the lambs to His fold
Watching they listen with childish delight
That is what mothers are doing tonight.
Spying out holes in the little, worn hose,
Laying by shoes that are worn thro' the toes
Looking DER garments SO faded and thin
Who but mother knows where TO begin
Changing button to make il look right
That is what mothers do night after night.
Creeping so softly TO take a last peep,
After the little ones all are asleep
Anxious to know if the children are warm,
Tucking the blankets around each little form
Kissing each little face SO rosy and bright
That is what mothers do night after night.
Kneeling down gently beside the white bed,
Lowly and meekly she bows down her head
Praying as only a mother can pray,
God guideahd Keep them from going astray
