How sweet and happy seemed
those days of which I dreamed
When memory recalls them now and then
And with that rapture sweet
my weary heart would beat
If I could hear my mother pray again
If I could hear my mother pray again
If I could hear her tender voice I'd sing
If I could hear my mother pray of me
And always walk the shining gospel way
So trusting still his love,
When I shall meet my mother some glad day
If I could hear my mother pray again
If I could hear her tender voice ascend
it would mean so much to me
If I could hear my mother
Her work on earth is done,
the light brown has been won
She is now at rest with him above
she, I know, will welcome me
To that eternal home of peace and love
If I could hear my mother pray again
If I could hear her tender voice I'd sing
it would mean so much to me
If I could hear my mother pray again
If I could hear my mother pray again,
If I could hear her tender voice ascend,
it would mean so much to me,
If I could hear my mother pray again.
