Shall I Meet my Sainted Mother?

Author: George Thompson Hymnal: Crowning Glory No. 1 #65 (1890) First Line: Shall I meet my sainted mother Lyrics: 1 Shall I meet my sainted mother, In her home beyond the skies? Will I see the love-light beaming, From her tender loving eyes? Will she know me when I meet her, For I'm changed so sadly now? Will she see her fair-haired darling In this old and wrinkled brow? 2 When the bells of heaven ringing, Wake the angel's song again, For the wanderer returning From the paths of sin and pain, Will my mother there be waiting, Waiting with her look so mild? Will she press me to her bosom, As she did when but a child? 3 All the years of sin and sorrow, That I've suffer'd since she died, Will be vanish'd on that morrow, When I stand by mother's side, Stand with her before the Savior, There among the blood-wash'd throng, Joining in the heav'nly rapture Of the glad redemption song Languages: English Tune Title: [Shall I meet my sainted mother]

Roblin (a anagram of his name) ================ Peter Philip Bilhorn was born, in Mendota, IL. His father died in the Civil War 3 months before he was born. His early life was not easy.
