If I should be living when Jesus comes, And could know the day and the hour, I’d like to be standing at mother’s tomb When Jesus comes in His power.
Refrain ’Twill be a wonderful, happy day, Up there on the golden strand, When I can hear Jesus my Savior say, Shake hands with mother again.
Note: not to be confused with Shake My Mother's Hand for Me which starts out - When you reach that golden city (golden city) Friends and loved ones you shall see (you shall see) When the saints come out to meet you (out to meet you) Oh shake my mother's hand for me
