An Empty Mansion


Here I labour and toil as I look for a home
Just a humble abode among men
While in Heaven a mansion is waiting for me
And the gentle voice pleading come in

There's a mansion now empty, just waiting for me
At the end of life's troublesome way
Many friends and dear loved ones will welcome me there
Near the door of that mansion someday

When my labour and toiling have ended below
And my hands lie folded in rest
I'll exchange this old home for a mansion up there
And invite the arch angel as guest

There's a mansion now empty, just waiting for me
At the end of life's troublesome way
Many friends and dear loved ones will welcome me there
Near the door of that mansion someday

There's a mansion now empty, just waiting for me
At the end of life's troublesome way
Many friends and dear loved ones will welcome me there
Near the door of that mansion someday
Near the door of that mansion someday
