If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again
How sweet and happy seem those days of which I dream, When memory recalls them now and then! And with whay 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 glad I'd be, 'twould 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 seek that home above, Where I shall meet my mother some glad day.
If I could hear my mother pray again, If I could hear her tender voice as then! So glad I'd be, 'twould 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.
If I could hear my mother pray again, If I could hear her tender voice as then! So glad I'd be, 'twould mean so much to me, If I could hear my mother pray again.
Her work on earth is done, the life-crown has been won, And she will be at rest with Him above; And some glad morning, she I know will welcome me, To that eternal home of peace and love.
If I could hear my mother pray again, If I could hear her tender voice as then! So glad I'd be, 'twould mean so much to me, If I could hear my mother pray again.
