A Prayer for a Mother’s Birthday

By Henry Van Dyke

Lord Jesus, Thou hast known

A mother’s love and tender care:

And Thou wilt hear, while for my own

Mother most dear I make this birthday prayer.

Protect her life, I pray,

Who gave the gift of life to me;

And may she know, from day to day,

The deepening glow of Life that comes from Thee.

As once upon her breast

Fearless and well content I lay,

So let her heart, on Thee at rest,

Feel fears depart and troubles fade away.

Her every wish fulfill;

And even if Thou must refuse

In anything, let Thy wise will

A comfort bring such as kind mothers use.

Ah, hold her by the hand,

As once her hand held mine;

And though she may not understand

Life’s winding way, lead her in peace divine.

I cannot pay my debt

For all the love that she has given;

But Thou, love’s Lord, wilt not forget

Her due reward,–bless her in earth and heaven.
