(G) (Em) (D) (G) (C)

How(G)sweet and happy seem, those(C)days of which I(G)dream

When memory re(Em)calls them now and (D)then(D7)

And(G)with that rapture sweet, my(C)weary heart would(G)beat

If I could hear my mother, (D)pray a(G)gain

She (G)used to pray that (G7)I on (C)Jesus would (G)rely

And always walk the shining gospel (D)way(D7)

So (G)trusting in His (G7)love, I'd (C)seek that home a(G)bove

Where I shall meet my mother, (D)some glad (G)day

It was the songs the angels, (D)loved to (G)hear

To that eternal home of, (D)peace and (G)love (C) (G)
