not sure if this is the version of 2nd song you needed or not - but it's a beautiful song -
If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again
How sweet and happy seem those days of which I dream,
When memory recalls them now and then!
And with what rapture sweet my weary heart would beat,
If I could hear my mother pray again.
Refrain:
If I could hear my mother pray again,
If I could hear her tender voice as then!
So glad I'd be, 'twould mean so much to me,
If I could hear my mother pray again.
She used to pray that I on Jesus would rely,
And always walk the shining gospel way;
So trusting still His love, I seek that home above,
Where I shall meet my mother some glad day.
Within the old home-place her patient, smiling face
Was always spreading comfort, hope and cheer;
And when she used to sing to her eternal King,
It was the songs the angels loved to hear.
Her work on earth is done, the life-crown has been won,
And she will be at rest with Him above;
And some glad morning she, I know, will welcome me
To that eternal home of peace and love.

WHO WILL PRAY FOR ME WHEN MAMA'S GONE
IN THE YEARS OF MY YOUTH
LONG BEFORE I KNEW THE TRUTH
LATE IN THE EVENING MOM WOULD BE DOWN ON HER KNEES
SHE'D HAVE TEARS IN HER EYES
AND I WONDERED WHY SHE CRIED
I DID NOT KNOW SHE WAS PRAYING FOR ME
WHO WILL PRAY FOR ME WHEN MAMA'S GONE
WHO'LL REMIND ME OUR SAVIOUR HAS TWO LOVING ARMS
WILL ANYONE CARE ENOUGH
TO SAY LORD KEEP HER SAFE FROM HARM
WHO WILL PRAY FOR ME WHEN MAMA'S GONE
NOW WHEN I LOOK BACK TO DAY
I'M THANKFUL FOR THE PRAYERS SHE PRAYED
FOR GOD HAS GUIDED MY FOOTSTEPS IT'S PLAIN TO SEE
AND SOMETIMES WHEN I AM SAD
A SWEET SPIRIT WILL MAKE ME GLAD
AND I KNOW SHE'S STILL PRAYING FOR ME
WILL ANYONE CARE ENOUGH
TO SAY LORD KEEP HER SAFE FROM HARM
WHO WILL PRAY FOR ME WHEN MAMA'S GONE
