Will My Mother Know Me There?

When I reach my home eter­nal

Reach that ci­ty bright and fair

When I stand among the an­gels

Will my mo­ther know me there?

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.

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?

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?

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?
