[B] Often in my mind I wandered [E] back to [F#] childhood days [B] gone by
And I heard my mother singing songs [C#] of [G#m] praise to [F#] God on high
[B] What a friend we have in Jesus, rock of ages cleft for me
[E] When the roll is [B] called up yonder, then she sang [F#] good-bye [B] with me
Take me back once again [G#m] to that old [B]
home place
Let me hear mother's voice, see her [C#] smiling [F#]
face
[B] As she sang with the choir all [G#m] those old [B] sweet old songs
[E] Angels tell my darling [B]
mother that I'll soon be coming home
Let the lower lights be burning, for the sun [F#] hath made [B] me free
Shall we gather at the river, [C#] Jesus, [G#m] Savior, [F#] pilot me
[B] That will be a glad reunion, will my mother know me there
I will [E] meet you in [B] the morning, then she sang sweet hour of prayer
Take me back once again [G#m] to that old home [B] place
Let me hear mother's voice, [G#] see her smiling [F#] face
[B] As she sang with the choir [G#m] all those old [B] sweet old songs
[E] Angels tell my [B] darling mother that I'll soon be [E] coming [B] home
She is singing now in heaven [E] with the happy [F#] [B] angel band
Where there's not a care or worry, [C#] over there [G#m] in glory [F#]
land
[B] And I know her voice is ringing [E] as she sings [F#] those old [B] sweet songs
[E] And I'll soon go home [B] to join her singing there around God's throne
Take me back once again [G#m] to that old [B]
home place
Let me hear mother's voice, [G#] see her smiling [F#]
face
[B] As she sang with the choir [G#m] all those old [B] sweet old songs
[E] Angels tell my darling [B]
mother that I'll soon be [F#] [B] coming home
