VERSE 1
C                      Bb
I was standing by the bedside
C
Where my fevered mother laid
                         Bb     C
When she called me close beside her
           G                 C
And these words I heard her say


CHORUS
C
I've just seen the Rock of Ages
         G             C
Jacob's ladder hanged down
C
I've just crossed the river of Jordan
       G                C
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


(CHORUS)


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


(CHORUS)
