Precious Memories

(J.B.F. Wright 1925 Hymn Traditional)

Precious memories, unseen angels
Sent from somewhere to my soul
How they linger ever near me
And the sacred past unfold

Precious father, loving mother
Fly across the lonely years
And old home scenes of my childhood
In fond memory appear

In the stillness of the midnight
Echoes from the past I hear
Old time singing, gladness bringing
From that lovely land somewhere

As I travel on life's pathway
Know not what the years may hold
As I ponder, hope grows fonder
Precious memories flood my soul

 

Precious memories, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious sacred scenes unfold

 

It is very hard to believe that my mother has been gone for 11 years.  We lost her after a prolonged battle with colon cancer.  May 20th 2000.   The hymn above was one of her favorites.  Little else need be said.  Mom we miss you.
