1 Thou mansion bright, thou home of light,
And ever blest employ,
When struggling faith is turn'd to sight,
And sorrow turn'd to joy!
Chorus:
There Jesus sits enthroned,
And saints and angels round,
Ring out the joyous psalm
Of Moses and the Lamb.
2 Thou mansion bright, thou home of light,
What gloom around us lay,
Till gleams of thee stole on our sight,
And changed our night to day! [Chorus]
3 Thou mansion bright, thou home of light,
By Jesus' hand prepared,
How can I lose thee from my sight,
By worldly magic snared? [Chorus]
4 Thou mansion bright, thou home of light,
I long, I long for thee;
I long to treat the margin bright
Along the emerald sea. [Chorus]
