1 In a lonely churchyard, many miles away,
Lies your dear old mother, ’neath the cold, cold clay;
Mem’ries oft returning of her tears and sighs,
If you love your mother, meet her in the skies.
Refrain:
Listen to her pleading, “Wand’ring boy, come home,”
Lovingly entreating, do no longer roam;
Let your manhood waken, heav’nward lift your eyes;
If you love your mother, meet her in the skies.
2 Now the old home, vacant, has no charms for you;
One dear form is absent, mother, kind and true;
Evermore she dwells where pleasure never dies,
If you love your mother, meet her in the skies. [Refrain]
3 Now in true repentance to the Savior flee,
He Who pardoned mother, mercy has for thee;
Now He waits to comfort, He will not despise,
If you love your mother, meet her in the skies. [Refrain]
