11732. Will My Mother Know Me There?

1 When I reach my home eternal,
Reach that city bright and fair,
When I stand among the angels,
Will my mother know me there?

Refrain:
Yes, I know that she will know me,
In those mansions bright and fair;
Mother’s love can ne’er forget me,
And I’m sure she’ll know me there.

2 I have changed with changing seasons,
I am bent with toil and care;
Do you think she will remember,
Will my mother know me there? [Refrain]

3 Oft for me my mother wrestled,
When she used to kneel in prayer;
Do you think that she’ll forget me,
Will my mother know me there? [Refrain]

4 Mother’s face has been a beacon,
O’er a sea of deep despair;
I shall look for her up yonder,
Will my mother know me there? [Refrain]
