A Mother's Faith - an original Mother's Day hymn
4-Part - Digital Sheet Music

1. Though mother Eve lost paradise,
To toil amidst a world of pain,
The grace of God would still suffice,
To succor her through sun and rain.

A mother’s faith can be the source,
Of miracles that change earth’s course.
She brought the world each daughter, son,
With Adam fell, our race begun.

2. Though Sarah waited many years
To start her promised family line,
In later days, God calmed her fears,
And blessed her through His pow’r divine.

A mother’s faith can be the source,
Of miracles that change earth’s course.
She grasped the promise that is ours,
Descendants as the countless stars.

3. Though Rebecca lived in heathen lands,
She knew her son must still be wed,
Unto a maid who understands,
That she must worship God instead.

A mother’s faith can be the source,
Of miracles that change earth’s course.
Her son found her whom God ordained,
And so a righteous branch obtained.

4. Though Hannah could not bear a child,
She trusted in the Holy One.
Her fervent prayers rose and God smiled,
And He soon granted her a son.

A mother’s faith can be the source,
Of miracles that change earth’s course.
This son whom she did consecrate,
Became a mighty prophet great.

5. Though Ruth had lost her husband soon,
And might have turned away and fled,
She granted to her kin a boon,
And stayed to help and bless instead.

A mother’s faith can be the source,
Of miracles that change earth’s course.
Her line was blessed by God to be,
The ancestors of royalty.

6. Though Elisabeth did not know,
What her husband had heard and seen,
She felt her child leap and bestow
A sign of what his life would mean.

A mother’s faith can be the source,
Of miracles that change earth’s course.
Her son bore witness on that day,
That he would come prepare the way.

7. Though Mary felt a surge of fear,
When first the angel to her spoke,
Her holy calling became clear,
And willingness in her awoke.

A mother’s faith can be the source,
Of miracles that change earth’s course.
She said to God, "Thy will be done."
And bore His well-beloved Son.
