The wind in the willows were blowing
As mourners said their tearful good-byes
And it seemed to me they were saying
Hush now don't you cry
For I'm taking my heavenly journey
On angel's wings I have taken my flight
II
I remember on homecoming morning
The smile on my Mama's face
As she told me of a homecoming morning
When we'd see our Lord face to face
As we enter the gates of that city
What a homecoming day that will be
III
I can still hear my Mama singing
The song In The Sweet By and By
As she told of the home He's preparing
For us in heaven on high
There we'll rest from all of our labors
At the homecoming in the sky
IV
Mama said Child now don't you be grieving
When it comes my time to go
To that grand homecoming meeting
There on heaven's bright shore
For Jesus God's Son he will greet me
What a homecoming day that will be
V
Mama has left for that homeland
On angel's wings she has taken her flight
With a smile so sweet
She closed her eyes and went to sleep
To awaken in the arms of her Savior
What a homecoming day that must have been
