HYMN 671
8s (FE 697)
Tune: CM Nigbati danwo yi mi ka
1. NOT of dim mem'ry shall I be
The day that mum saith unto me
When independence attaineth
Nay, forget not the day of mum.
Chorus: When all revealed vividly clear
Great love borne unto me by mum
Words of love unto me recap
Nay forget not the day of mum.
2. I shall in mem’ry ever be
All the toils of mum over me
Me, watcheth over dusk and dawn
In surplusity and of drought.
Chorus: When all revealed...
3. Honest counsellor art the mum
Father, the helper, limited
Supposed mother, replica
None be so worthy as the mum.
Chorus: When all revealed...
4. Supposed father, nay of worth
The replica, nay of the real
None can console, none can forebear
None worthy as father and Mum.
Chorus: When all revealed...
5. Lo! Mothers thy harvest shall come
Lo! Father thy harvest shall broth
None shall thy glory to deny
By the pow’r of Almighty God.
Chorus: When all revealed vividly clear
Great love borne unto me by mum
Words of love unto me recap
Nay forget not the day of mum. Amen
