Author: James Rowe Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Precious indeed those words are to me Lyrics: 1 Precious indeed those words are to me, "Mother and home, mother and home," Precious indeed they ever will be, While o'er the world I roam. Cheer they impart when dark is the way, Hope they bestow when drear is the day; Memories sweet they ever will stay, Mother and "home sweet home." 2 Often at night in fancy I see, "Mother and home, mother and home," Often in dreams God brings them to me, While o'er the world I roam. Visions of childhood days of delight, Visions of joys and pleasures so bright; Visions that cheer my soul thru the night, Mother and "home sweet home." 3 Helping my soul to stand and be true, "Mother and home, mother and home," Helping me here my duty to do, while o'er the world I roam. Keeping me close to heaven's own Dove, Keeping my spirit, looking above; Hoping to meet the dear ones I love, Mother and "home sweet home." Used With Tune: [Precious indeed those words are to me]
