Shake Hands With Mother Again

If I should be living when Jesus comes
And 4 know the day and the 1 hour
I'd like to be standing at mother's tomb
When Jesus 5 comes in His 1 power

Chorus
Twill be a wonderful happy day
Up 4 there on the golden 1 strand
When I can hear Jesus, my Savior say
Shake hands with 5 mother a 1 gain

I'd like to say, Mother, this is your boy
You left when you went away
And now, my dear mother, it gives me great joy
To see you again today

There's coming a time when I can go home
To meet my loved ones there
There I can see Jesus upon His throne
In that bright city so fair

There'll be no sorrow no pain to bear
In that home beyond the sky
A glorious thought when we all get there
We never will say goodbye
