We know she rests from her toll and
labors. Her Affections are unknown to
her now. She can never come to US but
we can go to her.
The following lines we dedicated to
our mother:
When our earthly life is ended
And our earthly mission done,
We shall go across the river
At the setting of the sun,
And in Gods celestial mansion,
Clothed in garments strangely fair,
We shall meet mother gone before us.
We shall know each other there.
Yes, we'll meet her in the city
That is just across the strand,
And our hearts will leap with rapture
When we take her by the hand.
Oh, how sweet will be the meeting,
Earthly words can FER declare;
We shall know the bliss of heaven
When we meet mother over there.
Do not tell us that our mother
Lose her earthly memrie quite,
When she sings among the angels
In the heavenly mansions bright
Oh, we know that we shall know her
