Mother Dear Lyrics

Oh, my mother dear

You've been gone so many years

The last thing you said to me was I love you

That call out of the blue left us stunned

When they said you had passed away

Within my father's arms

Now you walk where I can't see you

But I know one day I'll meet you

In the great and glorious presence

Of Jesus and the Father

Singing holy, holy, holy to the Lamb

And dad is now beside her

They're at the throne together

How I miss them, my dad and mother dear

They married very young

Two lovers on the run

Fixed on doin' things their own way

Takin' happy with the sad

They made a life with what they had

And when we came along their passion never changed

Til my broken-hearted father

Was called home to be with mother

In the great and glorious presence

Of Jesus and the Father

Singing holy, holy, holy to the Lamb

And dad is gone to meet her

They're at the throne together

How I miss them, my dad and mother dear

When we all get to heaven

What a day of rejoicing that will be

When we all see Jesus

We'll sing and shout the victory

In the great and glorious presence

Of Jesus and the Father

Singing holy, holy, holy to the Lamb

And dad is gone to meet her

They're at the throne together

How I miss them, my dad and mother dear

Oh my love and I will be there

We'll be at the throne together

Praising Jesus with dad and mother dear
