16305. Is There Not A Place For Me?

1 Mansions in the Fa­therland,
Built by God’s almigh­ty hand;
Happy hosts their beau­ty see;
Is there not a place for me?
Is there not a place for me?
Is there not a place for me?
Happy hosts their beau­ty see;
Is there not a place for me?

2 Crowns of glo­ry, crowns of light,
Brighter than the stars of night;
Fadeless thro’ eter­ni­ty;
Is there not a crown for me?
Is there not a crown for me?
Is there not a crown for me?
Fadeless thro’ eter­ni­ty;
Is there not a crown for me?

3 Garments whit­er than the snow,
Christ the King hath made them so;
Still He calls in tones so free;
Is there not a robe for me?
Is there not a robe for me?
Is there not a robe for me?
Still He calls in tones so free;
Is there not a robe for me?

4 Golden harps in praise re­sound,
Songs to Je­sus circ­ling round;
Making cease­less me­lo­dy;
Is there not a harp for me?
Is there not a harp for me?
Is there not a harp for me?
Making cease­less me­lo­dy;
Is there not a harp for me?
