Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 15

There's No Love Like the Love of a Mother.
Copyright, 1884, by T. B. Harms & Co.

There's no love like the love of a mother,
Search all the world o'er and o'er;
Tho' fond is the care of a brother,
Her love it will last evermore.
When we turn from the pathway of our duty,
Oft a sister's affection may wane;
But a mother's love shows its beauty,
Growing fonder the deeper our pain.

Chorus.
There's no love like the love of a mother,
None so gentle, forgiving and true;
We'll find it far dearer than all other,
While life And its toils we journey through

There's no love like the love of a mother,
Should her dear boy go astray;
She'll stand by his side as no other,
And help him regain his lost way.
She will speak to him kindly, And in warning,
And as gently will guide him aright,
As she did in childhood's fair morning,
When his path was so loving and bright.-Chorus.

There's no love like the love of a mother,
Earnest, enduring and pure;
A sister is dear, and a brother,
But her love will ever endure.
When we lose her the world can ne'er restore us
One so faithful and constant, and dear;
But in heaven she will watch o'er us.
Praying still for her child's welfare here.-Chorus.
