I hope my mother will be there,
In that beautiful world on high.
That used to join with me in pray'r,
In that beautiful world on high.
Oh I will be there Oh I will be there
With the palms of victory,
crowns of glory you shall wear
In that beautiful world on high

I hope my sister will be there,
In that beautiful world on high,
That used to join with me in prayer,
In that beautiful world on high.

In that beautiful world on high,
That used to join with me in prayer,
In that beautiful world on high.

In that beautiful world on high,
That used to listen to my prayer,
In that beautiful world on high.
