Precious memories, unseen angels,

Sent from somewhere to my soul.

How they linger, ever near me, 
A  D
And the sacred past unfold.

How they ever flood my soul.

In the stillness, of the midnight, 
A  D
Precious sacred scenes unfold.

Precious father, loving mother,

Fly across the lonely years.

And old home scenes of my childhood, 
A  D
In fond memory appear.

Old time singing, gladness bringing,

From that lovely land somewhere.

Father too on bended knee.

Sun is sinking, shadows falling, 
A  D
But their prayers still follow me.
