Chords for A Dying Mother's Prayer

Many [A] years I've been living for Jesus.
Now [D] I'm nearing the end [A] of my way.
The shadows around me are falling.
As I [Ebm] wait for the close of [E] the day.
[A] The heavenly lights are now gleaming.
[D] Loved ones are beckoning [A] me come .
I see Jesus at the portals of heaven.
To welcome me when I reach home .
Open the windows dear children.
[D] For the angels are anxious [A] to go.
To carry me over this river.
To [B] land free from sickness [E] and [B] woe.
You'll [A] miss me around the old home place.
But our [D] parting will not [Gbm] be [A] for long.
I'll be watching from the portals of heaven.
To welcome you when you reach home .
Through many hard trials here at labor.
I'm [D] so tired and I want to [A] go home .
But I want all my [G] friends [A] to go with me.
To [B] land free from sickness [E] and woe.
[A] We'll walk down the vale here together.
[D] Hand in hand through this life we [A] have trod .
Soon the circle of life will be broken.
But we'll meet [E] again in [D] our [A] new home .
[B] Don't [A] weep for me though I'll be missing.
[D] Just follow the path I [A] have trod.
Abide by the teaching I've given.
[E] You'll [B] find in the [Ebm] blessed word [E] of God.
[A] Walk close to the sight of your savior.
[D] For he never will leave you [A] alone .
Brothers prayers have gone up for your keeping.
And we'll meet again in our new home .
Open the windows dear children.
For [D] the angels are anxious [A] to go .
To carry me [E] over this [A] .
river.
To [B] land free from sickness [E] and woe.
You'll [A] miss me around the old home place.
But [D] our parting will not be [A] for long.
I'll be watching from the portals of heaven.
To welcome you when you reach home .
