Mother’s Gone (Brackeen)

Mother’s gone to yon­der ci­ty

Gone to be with an­gels fair

And I hope some day to meet her

With the other loved ones there.

Yes

we’ll meet our saint­ed mo­ther

In that home be­yond the skies

There to live with her for­ev­er

Where we’ll speak no sad good­byes.

Thou art gone from us

dear mo­ther

Nevermore on earth to be;

Though we miss thy gen­tle pre­sence

Heaven’s love we wish for thee.

Little ones

be not dis­cour­aged

Follow Je­sus all the way;

There’ll be glad­ness for the faith­ful

In that great and glo­ri­ous day.

While on earth

she lived for Je­sus

Led her child­ren in the right;

When our jour­ney here is end­ed

There with mo­ther we’ll unite.
