      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
