[D] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ How sweet and happy seemed [C] those days of which [G] I dreamed, when memory _ [C#] _ recalls them now [D] and then.
_ _ _ _ [G] And with that rapture sweet [C] my weary heart [G] would beat _ if I could hear my mother _ [D]
pray _ _ [G] _ [C] again.
_ [G]
She _ _ _ used to pray that _ I, [C] _ Jesus, would [G]
rely _ and always walk [A] the shining gospel [D] _ _ way. _
_ _ [G] So trusting in His love [C] I'd seek that home [G] _
above where I shall meet my mother _ [D] _ some _ [G]
glad [C] _ [G] day.
_ [Em] _ [F#m] [G] If I could _ hear [C] my mother pray [G] again, _ if I [Em] could hear [A] her tender _ [D] voices then,
[G] so happy I would be, [C] wouldn't mean so much [G] to me, if I could hear [Em] my _ mother [D] _
pray [G] _ _ [C] again.
_ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ Within the old home [Dm] place [C] her patient smiling [G] _ face was always spreading [A] comfort, hope [D] and cheer.
_ _ [Am] _ [D] _ [G] And when she used to [B] sing [C] to her _ [G] eternal King, it was the songs the angels [D] _
_ loved [G] to [C] hear.
_ [G] _
_ _ Her work on earth is done, [C] the life crown has been laid, _ [G] and she will be [A] at rest with Him [D] _ above. _ _
_ [F#m] And [G] some glad morning she [C] I know will [G] welcome me to that eternal home of [D] _ _ peace [G] and _ [C] love.
[G] _ _ _ If I could _ hear [C] my mother pray [G] again, _ if I could [Em] _ hear [A] her tender [D] voices then,
[G] so happy I would _ be, [C] wouldn't mean so much [G] to me, if I could hear [Em] my mother _ [D] _
pray _ [G] _ [C] again.
