A Vision of Mother

Often my memories drift back to childhood

To the time when I was free

As I played before the fireside

Round my darling mother’s knee

 

Chorus:

There’s a blessed home up yonder

Where my love one waits for me

I saw mother in a vision

Kneeling there to pray for me

 

Then one-day mother left us

Daddy said she’d gone to rest

I remember how she loved me

As she clutched me to her breast

Chorus:

There’s a blessed home up yonder…

Some sweet day I’ll meet you mother

You little boy is coming home

To see you as in days of childhood

The one you loved and left alone

Chorus:

There’s a blessed home up yonder…
