Author: E. E. Matthews Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11604 First Line: Mother’s gone far, far away Refrain First Line: Yes, we’ll meet our sainted mother Lyrics: 1 Mother’s gone far, far away,
Gone to dwell with saints for aye;
Safe in Heav’n, a crown to wear,
’Mid the scenes so bright and fair.
Refrain:
Yes, we’ll meet our sainted mother,
In the home so far away,
When we cross death’s silent river,
Reach the land of endless day.
2 When we placed her in the grave,
Back to earth the dear form gave,
Grief was ours no tongue can tell—
’Twas so sad, that last farewell! [Refrain]
3 Will you meet her in that land,
Clasp again her gentle hand?
There our Savior reigns alone,
Parting hours are never known. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Mother’s gone far, far away]
