Lyrics:

[verse 1]
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

[chorus]
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

[verse 2]
as We Gathered By Her Bedside
the Tears Begin To Fill Our Eyes
then She Called Me Close Beside Her
and Whispered Softly Her Good-Byes

[chorus]

[verse 3]
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

[chorus]
