As a boy I learned of Jesus
With my mother here at home
Gathered there around the fireside
Mother taught us right from wrong
Happy days I still remember
With a mother long gone on
Now rejoicing with the angels (up in heaven)
Mother's footsteps guide me on
Mother's love will always guide us
As I journey on and on
There will be a great reunion
Mother's footsteps guide me on
With my mother here at home
Gathered there around the fireside
Mother taught us right from wrong
Happy days I still remember
With a mother long gone on
Now rejoicing with the angels (up in heaven)
Mother's footsteps guide me on
Mother's love will always guide us
As I journey on and on
There will be a great reunion
Mother's footsteps guide me on
