Text: | Precious Memories |
Author: | J. B. F. W. |
Tune: | [Precious mem'ries, unseen angels] |
Composer: | J. B. F. Wright |
1 Precious mem'ries, unseen angels,
Sent from somewhere to my soul;
How they linger, ever near me,
And the sacred past unfold.
Chorus:
Precious mem'ries, how they linger,
How they ever flood my soul;
In the stillness of the midnight,
Precious, sacred scenes unfold.
2 Precious father, loving mother,
Fly across the lonely years;
And old home scenes of my childhood,
In fond memory appears. [Chorus]
3 In the stillness of the midnight,
Echoes from the past I hear;
Old-time singing, gladness bringing,
From that lovely land somewhere. [Chorus]
4 As I travel on life's pathway,
Know not what the years may hold;
As I ponder, hope grows fonder,
Precious mem'ries flood my soul. [Chorus]
