For My Good Mother
For my good mother
And for her love
On earth, unmatched
I praise you, O Lord
The good
That in the soul has
Who can someone
Call mother!
For she took care of me
From life's dawn
And at the feet of good Jesus
Made me walk happily
The good
That in the soul has
Who can someone
Call mother!
Whether poor or rich I may be
I will never forget
My good mother
As long as I live here
The good
That in the soul has
Who can someone
Call mother!
It is grateful to feel here
A mother's pure love
For her, the heart
Blesses the Creator
The good
That in the soul has
Who can someone
Call mother!
