G5                                C5               G5
How sweet and happy seemed those days of which I dream
                    A5           D5
When memory recalls them now and then
G5                              C5                 G5
And with what rapture sweet my weary heart would beat
                          D5   G5
If I could hear my mother pray again

                           C5           G5
She used to pray that I on Jesus would rely
                    A5             D5
And always walk the shining gospel way
G5                            C5              G5
So trusting in His love I'll seek that home above
                           D5        G5
For I shall meet my mother some glad day

                   C5           G5
If I could hear my mother pray again
                    A5              D5
If I could hear her tender voice as then
#G5                             C5                G5
How happy I would be with who means so much to me
                          D5   G5
If I could hear my mother pray again

                              C5               G5
Within the old home place her patient smiling face
                     A5               D5
Was always spreading comfort hope and cheer
G5                            C5           G5
And when she used to sing to her Eternal King
                            D5       G5
It was the songs the angels loved to hear

                              C5                   G5
Her work on earth is done the life crown has been won
                   A5            D5
And she will be at rest with Him above
G5                           C5                 G5
And some glad morning she I know will welcome me
                        D5        G5
To that eternal home of peace and love
