How sweet and happy seem those days of which I dream

When memory recalls them now and then

And with what rapture sweet

My weary heart would beat

If I could hear my mother pray again

If I could hear my mother pray again

If I could hear her tender voice as then

So happy I would be

Would mean so much to me

If I could hear my mother pray again

She used to pray that I on jesus would rely

And always walk the shining gospel way

So trusting still his love

I'll seek that home above

Where I shall meet my mother some glad day

Within the old home place

Her patience smilin' face

Was always spreading comfort

Hope and cheer

And when she used to sing to her eternal key

It was the song the angel love to hear

Her work on earth is done and her life crown has been won

And she will be at rest with him above

And some glad mornin'

She

I know will welcome me

To their eternal home of peace and love

If I could hear my mother pray again

If I could hear her tender voice as then

So happy I would be

Would mean so much to me

If I could hear my mother pray again

If I could hear my mother pray again

Pray again
