Sansa sings it to the Hound when he finds her in her chamber during the battle of Blackwater, rather than with the other women in Maegor's Holdfast. In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Gentle Mother, Font of Mercy is much the same. Stay the swords and stay the arrows, Let them know a better day. Gentle Mother, font of mercy, Save our sons from war, we pray. Soothe the wrath and tame the fury, Teach us all a kinder way. Gentle Mother, strength of women, Help our daughters through this fray. Lyrics Gentle Mother, font of mercy, Save our sons from war, we pray. Sansa starts singing Gentle Mother, Font of Mercy and all of the noblewomen join in. Sansa then calms down the noblewomen by suggesting that they sing a hymn. Sansa Stark then takes control of the situation by comforting the noblewomen that the battle is not yet lost and they are in the safest part of the castle. When the battle takes a bad turn, Cersei Lannister callously abandons them, and the women begin to panic. During the Battle of the Blackwater, the noblewomen of King's Landing take shelter in Maegor's Holdfast within the Red Keep.
