Paragraph Lyric
Oh, I was standing by the bedside
Where my fevered mother lay
When she called me close beside her
And I thought I heard her say

I've just seen the rock of ages
Jacob's ladder hanging down
I've just crossed the river of Jordan
Now, my son, I'm homeward bound

Oh, as we gathered by her bedside
Tears begin to fill our eyes
Then she called me close beside her
And whispered softly her good-byes

Pine trees blowing cross the mountain
Where forever she will lay
There she'll rest beside the fountain
There she'll sleep beneath the clay
Oh, I was standing by the bedside   Where my fevered mother lay   When she called me close beside her   And I thought I heard her say      I've just seen the rock of ages   Jacob's ladder hanging down   I've just crossed the river of Jordan   Now, my son, I'm homeward bound      Oh, as we gathered by her bedside   Tears begin to fill our eyes   Then she called me close beside her   And whispered softly her good-byes      Pine trees blowing cross the mountain   Where forever she will lay   There she'll rest beside the fountain   There she'll sleep beneath the clay
