When the evening star is rising (star is rising) in the heavens bright and clear (bright and clear).
Filling all the world with beauty (the world with beauty), then we miss you mother dear (mother dear).
(Chorus)
There dear mother we will meet you (surely meet you), in that home beyond the sea (beyond the sea)
Meet to say Goodbye no never (part no never) where the soul will ever be (will ever be)
Sitting by the open window (open window), Looking at the sunset gold (sunset gold).
We are thinking of you mother (of you mother), and the happy days of old (days of old).
Chorus
Rest dear mother, Jesus keep you (Jesus keep you), with a kind and loving hand (loving hand),
Close besides the sparkling water (sparkling water), in that bright and better land (better land).
