Not so long ago one morning Mother called me to her bed Then she threw her arms around me Listen to the words she said Darling, I am going to leave you But you'll not be left alone Jesus will protect and shield you After he has carried me home Just a few more days of sorrow Just a few more days of pain Just a few more days of cloudiness Just a few more days of rain Then I'm going to live with Jesus He has got a home prepared Then I'll join the holy angels Mother will be waiting there Sometimes I am sorely tempted Sometimes I am sorely tired But to overcome I'm trying Taking Jesus as my guide Oh, sometimes the path seems rugged But it only makes me pray And I know if I keep trying I'll see my mother some sweet day Just a few more days of sorrow Just a few more days of pain Just a few more days of cloudiness Just a few more days of rain Then I'm going to live with Jesus He has got a home prepared Then I'll join the holy angels Mother will be waiting there
