If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again

How sweet and happy seem, those days of which I dream

Memory I recall now and then

And with what repture sweet, my weary heart will beat

If I could hear my mother pray again

If I could only hear my mother pray again

If I could hear her sweet, tender voice as then

How happy I would be, it would mean so much to me

If I could hear my mother pray again

Around the old home place, her patient smiling face

Was always bringing comfort, hope and cheer

And when she used to sing to her eternal king

It was the sound I loved to hear

If I could only hear my mother pray again

If I could hear her sweet, tender voice as then

How happy I would be, it 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 walked the shining gospel way

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

And now she's at rest with Him above

If I could only hear my mother pray again

If I could hear her tender voice as then

How happy I would be, it would mean so much to me

If I could hear my mother pray again

If I could only hear my mother pray again
