If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again

[Intro]
If I could hear my mother pray again

[Verse 1]
How sweet and happy seem the days of which I dream
When memory recalls them now and then
Oh, and then with rapture sweet, my weary heart would beat
If I could hear my mother pray again

[Chorus]
If I could hear my mother pray again (If I could only hear my mother pray again)
If I could hear her tender voice as then (If I could only hear her tender voice again)
So happy I would be, 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 only hear my mother pray again)
If I could hear her tender voice as then (If I could only hear her tender voice again)
So happy I would be, it would mean so much to me
If I could hear my mother pray again

[Verse 2]
She used to pray that I on Jesus would rely
And always walk the shiny gospel way
So trusting in His love, I'm seeking that home above
Where I shall meet my mother some sweet day

[Chorus]
Lord, if I could hear my mother pray again (If I could only hear my mother pray again)
If I could hear her tender voice as then (If I could only hear her tender voice again)
So happy I would be, it would mean so much to me
If I could hear my mother pray again
