Shall we not love thee Mother dear?

Click here to Wachet Auf!!
My immediate task is to either find the words of the famous Mothering Sunday hymn I wrote some years ago or write another one before Sunday!!!
Youngest daughter, S, & I often talk about Johann Sebastian with whom she is rather taken ; we are overwhelmed about what he used to churn out week by week for his choirs. Not only did he write wonderfully original music, but also had to copy the music out by hand and candlelight. And he just used to do it week after week.
I have had full flights of poetry, which usually means one poem per week. I try to write words for one hymn a year, and occasionally manage two. So I take my hat off to JSB because I can't just churn it out week after week with any quality
