Alice Gerrard - Bear Me Away lyrics

Long, long ago in the days of my childhood Fond were the memories When I stood at mother's knee Then she placed a kiss on my forehead Down my the window where my mother used to play Chorus: Bear Me Away On the breeze of the morning Bear Me Away To my old home far away Let me sit down By the old family Bible Down by the window where My mother used to pray I remember as she lay on her pillow Breathing a prayer to her Father in the sky Then she said, "Where He leads I must follow- Follow my Savior where no tear may dim the eye Chorus: Bear Me Away On the breeze of the morning Bear Me Away To my old home far away Let me sit down By the old Family Bible Down by the window where My mother used to pray Long since I stood By her grave on the hillside Long since they laid my dear mother In the grave Long since she placed A kiss on my forehead Down by the window Where my mother used to pray. Chorus: Bear Me Away Let me sit down On the breeze of the morning By the old family Bible Bear Me Away Down by the window To my old home far away Where my mother used to pray
