If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again Lyrics

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.

If I could hear my mother pray again
If I could hear her tender voice as then
So happy I would be, would mean so much to me
If I could hear my mother pray again.

--- Instrumental ---

She used to pray that I on Jesus would rely
And always walked 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 cheerAlabama - If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again - http://motolyrics.com/alabama/if-i-could-hear-my-mother-pray-again-lyrics.html
And when she used to sing to her eternal king
It was the songs the angels loved to hear.

--- Instrumental ---

Her work on earth is done and her 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.

If I could hear my mother pray again
If I could hear her tender voice as then
So happy I would be, would mean so much to me
If I could hear my mother pray again.

If I could hear my mother pray again.

Pray again...
