1 I hear them still in memory,
No matter where I go,
The hymns my mother sang to me
With tender voice and low.

Refrain:
She sang of Jesus and His love,
She sang "Sweet hour of prayer,"
She sang "A land of pure delight,"
Praise God I’ll meet her there!

2 The paths of sin I long had trod,
But heard her voice again
Sing sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stain. [Refrain]

3 Oft times when sad, I hear her voice,
Sing of a sure retreat,
From every stormy wind that blows,
Beneath the mercy seat. [Refrain]

4 I, saved by Jesus’ grace can sing—
’Tis well now with my soul,
I’ll meet her on the crowning day,
Where surges cease to roll. [Refrain]
