Songs from the Gospel

[Guest guest]

O Mother, Thou my Inner Guide, ever awake within my heart!

Day and night Thou holdest me in Thy lap.

Why dost Thou show such tenderness to this unworthy child of

Thine?

Ah! It seems Thou art mad with love: now caressing, now with

strong grasp

Holding me firm, thou givest me to drink

Thy nectar, pouring in my ears Thy words of loving tenderness.

Unceasing is Thy love for me, a love that cannot see my faults;

Whenever I am in danger, Thou dost save me.

Saviour of sinners! I know the truth: I am my Mother's and She is

mine.

Now I shall listen to her alone, and follow the path of righteousness;

Drinking the milk that flows from my Mother's breasts,

I shall be strong and sing with joy: " Hail, O Mother! Brahman

Eternal! "
