325. Hear the Words of Consolation

1 Hear the words of consolation,
Floating down the aisles of time,
Sounding ‘mid earth’s tribulation,
Like a sweet celestial chime,
‘Tis the tender voice of Jesus
Bringing comfort sweet and true;
“In the house of many mansions
I’ll prepare a place for you.”

Refrain:
I’ll prepare a place for you,
I’ll prepare a place for you;
In the house of many mansions,
I’ll prepare a place for you.

2 What a blessed rest He giveth!
Rest from care and fear and sin;
Trust in Him who “ever liveth,”
Peace, a welcome guest, within.
Letting Jesus bear our burdens,
While His promise rings anew;
“In the house of many mansions
I’ll prepare a place for you.” [Refrain]

3 Take the precious consolation;
Come to Hime, and there abide;
O the joy of His salvation
When we tarry at His side.
Still above the fleeting shadows
Smiles the radiant, changeless blue;
“In the house of many mansions
I’ll prepare a place for you.” [Refrain]
