Hymn 468 - Precious Memories

Precious mem'ries, 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 appears.

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 mem’ries flood my soul.

REFRAIN

Precious mem'ries, how they linger,

How they ever flood my soul.

In the stillness of the midnight,

Precious, sacred scenes unfold.
