A Mother's Prayer for Her Daughter Out there is a World War I era song released in 1918. Andrew B. Sterling wrote the lyrics. Arthur Lange composed the music. It was written for sound and piano. The song is published by Joe Morris Music Co. from New York, New York. On the cover there was a woman kneeling to pray. The picture of a soldier hangs on the wall behind him.

The lyrics tell the story of a mother who is struggling with the fact that her son is at war. The only way he can find comfort is through prayer. Told from a third person's point of view. The choir is as follows:

Few prayers

When shadow steals

Just a little prayer,

An interesting voice;

For baby shoes she's sticking

While Angelus rings,

Let's start words

From a sick heart:

"May angels keep it gently

Tonight and send my baby back to me. "

That is a mother's prayer

For his son "out there."

The music sheets can be found at the Library of Congress and Pritzker Military Museum & amp; Library.
