How sweet and happy seem those days of which |
|
I dreamWhen 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 aboveAnd 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 |
