O Mother, How We Miss You

Representative Text

1 We have lost our dear, sweet mother,
She no more on earth shall roam;
And there'll never be another,
Who can take her place at home.

Chorus:
O dear mother, how we miss you,
But not more on earth you roam;
Some sweet day we'll all be with you
In that bright eternal home.

2 Mother's life was true and faithful
And her heart was filled with love,
Trusting Jesus as her Savior,
Till she joined Him up above. [Chorus]

3 Some day I shall go to meet her
Where there'll be no more goodbyes,
I can think of nothing sweeter
Than our meeting in the skies. [Chorus]
