1. In a home be­yond the ri­ver,
By the shin­ing crys­tal sea,
With all tri­als past for­ev­er,
Darling Mo­ther waits for me.

Refrain

Waiting there with her Re­deem­er,
Oh, so ha­ppy and so fair;
Singing with the saints in glo­ry,
Mother dear is wait­ing there.

2. When at last, my soul’s true lov­er
Tells me it is time to go,
Angels fair will bear me ov­er
To my mo­ther dear, I know.

Refrain

3. If your mo­ther’s ov­er yon­der,
Trust in Je­sus while you may,
And when hearts shall all grow fond­er,
You shall meet again some day.
