Chords for Daniel O'Donnell - If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again

_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _
_ How sweet and happy [Db] seemed those days of [Ab] which I dreamed,
When memory recalls them now [Eb] and then.
_ [Ab] And with what rapture sweet my [Db] weary heart would beat,
If I could hear my mother pray _ again.
She used to pray that I [Db] on Jesus [Ab] would rely,
And always walk the shining [Eb] gospel way.
[Ab] So trusting still his love I seek that home above,
Where I shall meet my mother some glad day.
If I could only hear [Db] my mother [Ab] pray again,
If I could only hear her [Bb] tender [Eb] voice as then,
[Ab] How happy I would be, it would mean so much to me,
If I could hear my mother pray again.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ Within the old home [Db] place her patient [Ab] smiling face,
Was always spreading [Bb] comfort, [Eb] hope and cheer.
_ [Ab] And when she used to [Db] sing to her eternal [Ab] king,
It was the songs the angels [Eb] loved [Ab] to hear.
Her work on earth is done, [Db] the life crown [Ab] has been won,
And she will be at [Bb] rest with him [Eb]
above.
_ [Ab] And some glad morning she [Db] I know will welcome me,
To that eternal home [Eb] of peace [Ab] and love.
If I could only [Db] hear my mother [Ab] pray again,
If I could only hear her tender [Eb] voice as then,
[Ab] How happy I would be, [Db] it would mean so much to me,
If I could hear my mother [Eb] pray [Ab] again.
If I could hear my mother [Eb]
pray [Ab] again. _ _ _ _ _
