Cântăre 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.



R: 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.



3. 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.



4. 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.
