Shake Hands with Mother Again

Now if I would be a-livin' when Jesus comes
And know the day and the hour
I'd like to be a-standin' at mother's tomb
When Jesus comes in his power

T'will be a wonderful happy day
Over there on the golden strand
When I can hear Jesus, my Savior, say
"Shake hands with mother again"

And 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"

T'will be a wonderful happy day
Over there on the golden strand
When I can hear Jesus, my Savior, say
"Shake hands with mother again"

Well the time will soon come when I must go
To meet my loved ones up there
A glorious thought when we all get there
We never shall say goodbye

T'will be a wonderful happy day
Over there on the golden strand
When I can hear Jesus, my Savior, say
"Shake hands with mother again"
