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 
Chorus If I could (only) hear my mother pray again If I could (only) hear her tender voice as then So glad I’d be (So happy I would be) ’twould mean so much to me If I could hear my mother pray again 
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 cheer And when she used to sing to her eternal King It was the songs the angels loved to hear 
Her work on earth is done the 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
