If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again

How sweet and happy seem, those days of which

I dreamWhen memory recalls them now and then

And with what repture sweet, my weary heart would beat

If I could hear my mother pray again

She used to pray that

I, on Jesus would rely

And always walked the shining gospel way

So trusting still

His love,

I seek that home above

Where I shall meet my mother some glad day

If I could only hear my mother pray again

If I could only hear her tender voice as then

How happy

I would be, t'would mean so much to me

If I could hear my mother pray again

Within the old home place, her patient smiling face

Was always spreading comfort, hope and cheer

And when she used to sing to her eternal king

It was the songs the angels loved to hear

Her work on earth is done, the life crown has been won

And she will be at rest with

Him aboveAnd some glad morning she,

I know will welcome me

To that eternal home of peace and love

If I could only hear my mother pray again

If I could only hear her tender voice as then

How happy

I would be, t'would mean so much to me

If I could hear my mother pray again

If I could hear my mother pray again
