| I love the sound The sweetest under Heaven | B |
| That name of mother and the proudest too | C |
| As babes we breathe it and with seven times seven | B |
| Of youthful prayers and blessings that accrue | C |
| We still repeat the word with tender steven | B |
| Dearest of friends dear mother what we do | C |
| This side the grave in purity of aim | A |
| Is glorified at last by thy good name | A |

| But how forlorn the word how full of woe | D |
| When she who bears it lies beneath the clod | C |
| In vain the orphan child would call her so | D |
| She comes not back her place is up with God | C |
| The wintry winds are wailing o'er the snow | D |
| The flowers are dead that once did grace the sod | C |
| Ah lose not heart Some flowers may fade in gloom | E |
| But Hope's a plant grows brightest on the tomb | E |
