IF I COULD HEAR MY MOTHER PRAY AGAIN

#1 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.

    * Refrain:
      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.

#2 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.
