God gave the world the sunshine,
The dewdrops and the showers.
He gave the trees that wondrous green,
Breathed perfume in the flowers.
He gave the babe so sweet a smile
One could not help but love.
He gave the earth the night time
With moon and stars above.
But we received a priceless gift,
Surpassing all these others;
God gave his richest blessing,
When he gave to us Our Mothers.
