- 1If I should be living when Jesus comesAnd could know the day and the hourI’d like to be standing at mother’s tombWhen Jesus comes in His pow’r.‘Twill be a wonderful happy dayUp there on the golden strand;When I can hear Jesus my Savior say,”Shake hands with mother again.”
- 2I’d like to say “Mother, this is your boy,You left when you went away,And now my dear mother it gives me great joyTo see you again today.”‘Twill be a wonderful happy dayUp there on the golden strand;When I can hear Jesus my Savior say,”Shake hands with mother again.”
- 3There’s coming a time when I can go homeTo meet my loved ones up there;There I can Bee Jesus upon His throneIn that bright city so fair.‘Twill be a wonderful happy dayUp there on the golden strand;When I can hear Jesus my Savior say,”Shake hands with mother again.”
- 4There’ll be no more sorrow or pain to bearIn that home beyond the sky;O glorious tho’t when we all get there,We never will say “good-by.”‘Twill be a wonderful happy dayUp there on the golden strand;When I can hear Jesus my Savior say,”Shake hands with mother again.”
