105. My Father's House

1 These are words of Bible lore,
Dear to ev’ry Christian heart,
How we long, yet more and more,
Christ to meet and never part,
But the Savior bids us rest,
On his promise sweet and true,
In my Father’s house on high,
I’ll prepare a place for you.

Refrain:
There are mansions in the sky,
For the Christian brave and true,
In my Father’s house on high,
I’ll prepare a place for you.

2 Only here a little while,
Then to enter home above,
Where there’s nothing to defile,
All is brighten’d by His love,
Oh, to be with Jesus there,
Better far than earthly friends,
Sweetest rest forever share,
Blessed rest, it never ends. [Refrain]

3 But while left upon time’s shore,
Let us work with all our might,
For we know ‘twill soon be o’er,
There for us ‘twill all be bright,
Not the light of sun or stars,
But the Lord himself the light,
No more death, nor naught that mars
When our faith is changed to sight. [Refrain]
