if i could hear my mother pray again

g

how sweet and happy seems those days of which i dream
when memory recalls them now and then
and with what rapture sweet my weary heart does beat
if i could hear my mother pray again

ch
if i could hear my mother pray again
if i could hear her tender voice as then
so happy i would be t'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 seek that home above
where i shall meet my mother some glad day

ch
