Precious Memories ..

I hope you know the tune to this hymn ...... here are the words, one of my favorite lines ..... "In the stillness, of the midnight" ...... read the words slowly, they are very meaningful..............

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 homescenes 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 memories flood my soul.

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


"In the stillness of the midnight" ..... I can visualize and feel the quiet, midnight is such a quiet time ..... there is too much noise today ..... no quiet places to go .... but if you think of the "stillness" ..... of the "midnight"
There is a "quiet" ....... within your soul ..... when you think of that...........
"In the stillness ........ of the midnight"
