Tune: | [In the house of many mansions] |
Composer: | Jno. R. Sweney |
1 In the house of many mansions,
With its portals bright and fair,
I am laying up my treasures,
And my heart has long been there.
Chorus:
At the river that divides me
From my Father's house on high,
I am waiting, I am watching
Till the boat comes by.
2 I have seen it in the distance
As it bent its snowy sail,
To the music of the waters
And the whisper of the gale. [Chorus]
3 In the house of many mansions
Dwells my Savior and my King;
I shall see Him in His beauty
And His praise my tongue shall sing. [Chorus]
4 Oh, that boat will soon be coming,
It will bear me home, I know,
To the house of many mansions,
And the friends of long ago. [Chorus]
