If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again
James Vaughan, James Rowe
Performed by George Jones
G Em D G C
G C G
How sweet and happy seem, those days of which I dream
Em D D7
When memory re calls them now and then
G C G
And with that rapture sweet, my weary heart would beat
D G
If I could hear my mother, pray a gain
G G7 C G
She used to pray that I on Jesus would rely
D D7
And always walk the shining gospel way
G G7 C G
So trusting in His love, I'd seek that home a bove
D G
Where I shall meet my mother, some glad day
[Chorus]
G C G
If I could only hear my mother pray a gain
Em A7 D
If I could hear her tender voice as then
G G7 C G
So happy I would be, would mean so much to me
D G C G
If I could hear my mother, pray a gain
G C G
With in the ole home place her patient smiling face
Em D D7
Was always spreadin' comfort, hope, and cheer
G G7 C G
And when she used to sing to her Eternal King
D G
It was the songs the angels, loved to hear
G G7 C G
Her work on earth is done, her life crown has been won
Em D D7
And she will be at rest with Him above
G G7 C G
And some glad morning she, I know will welcome me
D G C G
To that eternal home of, peace and love
