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…
