Representative Text

1 In the house of my Father above,
There are mansions provided for me,
Where my soul in the fulness of joy shall awake
From its body of sin, to be free.

Refrain:
I shall go to that home by and by,
And my Saviour will welcome me there:
He will crown me with life, he will fill me with joy,
And his garment of love I shall wear.

2 When I weary of labor and toil,
And with sorrow my heart is oppressed,
Then my Saviour comes near, and I think with delight
Of the beautiful mansions of rest. [Refrain]

3 I have friends in those mansions above;
They are waiting me now on the shore;
And I know we shall meet at the portals of light,
When a few fleeting days shall be o'er. [Refrain]
