MUM Tonight, oh Loving Father, We return her to Thy care, Our sweet and gentle mother. Someone always walked beside her, Fearful lest she fall, But tonight she went alone, In answer to Your call. And so we ask you Father, To send a ray of light, To guide her weary footsteps, When she comes home tonight. And might someone come to meet her, Perhaps a loved one of her own, Who would take her hand and Bid her welcome, To Thy everlasting home. - Mayme Watson McLean Pearson, 1939.
