Author: James Rowe Hymnal: Timeless Truths #805 Meter: 12.10.12.10 with refrain Hymnal Title: Timeless Truths First Line: How sweet and happy seem those days of which I dream Lyrics: 1 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.
Refrain:
If I could hear my mother pray again,
If I could hear her tender voice as then!
So glad I’d be, ’twould mean so much to me,
If I could hear my mother pray again.
2 She used to pray that I on Jesus would rely,
And always walk the shining gospel way;
So trusting still His love, I seek that home above,
Where I shall meet my mother some glad day. [Refrain]
3 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. [Refrain]
4 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. [Refrain] Scripture: James 5:16 Tune Title: [How sweet and happy seem those days of which I dream]
