I used to sing the wedding version of this back in the early sixties and we sang the regular version many times at May Devotions every weekday of May at six pm. I miss May devotions. They ought to bring them back

MOTHER, AT YOUR FEET IS KNEELING

Wedding Version:

Mother, at your feet is kneeling
On this happy wedding day
To your love and care appealing
Asking guidance on our way.
Sanctify each joy and sorrow.
Bless each morn with your sweet smile.
From your wisdom may we borrow.
Hear and bless us, Mother mild.

Chorus
Tell our Jesus that we love Him true.
Thy love, too, we wish to share.
And, dear Mother, we give unto you
Our love to hold within your care.

We would sing this at weddings.....words i think were somethin like "mother at your feet we're kneeling on this happy wedding day.....Fill our hearts....." Does anyone remember this version?

Does anyone have the wedding lyrics? They went something like:
Mother at thy feeling is kneeling, on this our wedding day......

MY MOTHER IS 88 YEARS OLD, AND SANG THIS SONG AS A CHILD. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF HER FAVORITE SONGS TO OUR BLESSED MARY. SHE NOW HAS LESS THAN ONE MONTH TO LIVE. SHE ASK ME A LONG TIME AGO TO SING IT AT HER FUNERAL. I DON'T KNOW IF I WILL HAVE THE STRENGTH! PLEASE PRAY FOR ME THAT I CAN FILL MY DYING MOTHER'S REQUEST!

I just love that song, and I'm 67 and sang it in grade school.
I will be singing it tonight at my nephew's wake, at 24 he committed suicide.
So I'm asking the Blessed Mother to intervene for him.

We buried my Babci on Saturday at 104 years of age. This was her favorite hymn, and I promised her it would be sung. I thought it was the best part of her funeral Mass. Beautiful ! -- Therese Bradley, Philadelphia

Thank you..we use to sing this hymn in the 40s & 50s at St Luke's church, south Bronx...I needed the lyrics
Deacon John Sullivan

Thank you so much. It really does mean a lot to me!!

I believe this is an old Catholic hymn from the early part of the last century. Found this on a few Catholic web sites:

1.
Mother at your feet is kneeling,
One who loves you 'tis your child
Who has sought so oft to see you.
Bless me Mother, bless your child.
Mother, when my Jesus calls me
From this world so dark and drear;
From the wily snares of Satan,
Shield me Mother, Mother dear.

Chorus
Dearest Mother, tell my Jesus,
How I love Him fond and true;
And oh Mary, dearest Mother,
Tell Him I belong to you.

2.
Plead for me when Jesus judges,
Answer for me when He asks;
How I spent so many moments
How perform so many tasks.
Mary, oh my dearest Mother
May it e'er to me be giv'n;
As on earth I fondly love Thee
So, to love Thee still in Heav'n .

Thanks,
Steve
