1. Oh! what a name so pleasant as of Mum Hark the ear, offering gentle soul a rest Oh what a sweet savour not meet for tongues In such a name so great as of the Mum. 2. Oh! mother who for the child suffereth shame Oh! mother who for the child doth weepeth Great mother thou who for the child doth starve Thou shall I ever love, O! precious mum. 3. Almighty God, Thine help an my desire For parents, Oh Lord make me to afford Abundant joy, I cherish, Lord I plead May I ne’er premature-ly hence depart. 4. No affectionate counsellor like Christ Wonderful Father, my needs doth provide Incarnate Son of the creator God Thine protection and grace, Oh Lord I plead AMEN
