American Old Time Song Lyrics: 30 The Maidens Prayer
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 30
THE MAIDEN'S PRAYER.
Words by John S. Adams.
Melody by T. Badarzewsky.
Each hour of life to thee I turn,
Toward thee my inmost soul doth yearn;
Both day and night, where'er I be.
My trusting heart still turns to thee.
Hopeful, I pray that I may keep
My love as now, serene and deep.
May the pure feeling, upward now stealing,
Ever strengthen'd 'twixt me and thee.
Each hour of the to thee I turn,
Toward thee my inmost soul doth yearn;
Both day and night, where'er I be,
My trusting heart slid turns to thee.
