Do Not Forsake Us

1. Do not forsake us,
Do not forsake us,
Mother do not forsake us,
Mother do not forsake us.
Mother, comfort us in weeping,
Mother, guide us or we perish.
Teach us love, though we are suff'ring,
Teach us Thee to ever cherish.

2. Do not forsake us,
Do not forsake us,
Mother do not forsake us,
Mother do not forsake us.
Tears are flowing, we are sighing,
This life is a vale of tears,
Our soul burdened, we are crying
To our God, to comfort all fears.
