First Line: Tis the place where the sins are forgiven
Last Line: In the arms of a mother at dawn.
Subject(s): Love; Memory
'TIS the place where the sins are forgiven.
And the soul is lifted above;
'Tis the place where weakness is hidden,
Under the mantle of love.
'Tis the haunt of the sweetest memories,
That linger so long in the heart,
When the chill of the world has hardened,
And dear ones have drifted apart.
'Tis the place where manhood is moulded,
And dreams of the future are born,
When the strength of the nation lies folded
In the arms of a mother at dawn.
