If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again Lyrics & Chords

By James Rowe & J.W. Vaughan

(G)How sweet and happy seem those (C)days of which I (G)dream,

When memory recalls (A)them now and (D)then!

(G)And with what rapture sweet my (C)weary heart would (G)beat,

If I could hear my mother (D)pray (G)again. 



Chorus

If I could hear my (C)mother pray (G)again,

If I could hear her (A)tender voice as (D)then!

(G)So glad I’d be, ’twould (C)mean so much to (G)me,

If I could hear my mother (D)pray (G)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. 



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. 



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.
