Paroles et Strophes
4 parties
Verse 1
Here I labor and toil as I look for a home Just an humble abode among men, While in heaven a mansion is waiting for me And a gentle voice pleading "Come in."
Verse 2
Ever thankful am I that my Savior and Lord Promised unto the weary sweet rest; Nothing more could I ask than a mansion above, There to live with the saved and the blest.
Verse 3
When my labor and toiling have ended below And my hands shall lie folded in rest, I'll exchange this old home for a mansion up there And invite the archangel as guest.
Chorus
There's a mansion now empty, just waiting for me, At the end of life's troublesome way, And I know that the Savior will welcome me there Near the door of that mansion some day.
