Intro

   

Verse 1

I was standing by the bedside
Where my fevered mother lay
When she called me close beside her
And these words I heard her say

Chorus

I've just seen the Rock of Ages 
Jacob's ladder hanged down
I've just crossed the river of Jordan
Now my son I'm homeward bound

Verse 2

As we gathered all around her
The tears began to fill our eyes
Then she called me close beside
Whispered softly her goodbyes

Verse 3

High breeze blowing on the mountain
Where forever she will lay
There she'll rest beside the fountain
There she'll sleep beneath the clay
