How oft our souls are lifted up,
When clouds are dark and drear,
For Jesus comes, and kindly speaks
These loving words of cheer.
“In my Father’s house
are many mansions;
If it were not so
I would have told you;
In my Father’s house
are many mansions,
I go to prepare a place for you!”
How oft amid our daily toil,
With anxious care opprest,
We hear again the precious word
That tells of joy and rest:
“In my Father’s house
are many mansions;
If it were not so
I would have told you;
In my Father’s house
are many mansions,
I go to prepare a place for you!”
Oh, may our faith in Him be strong,
Who feels our every care.
And will for us— as He hath said—
A place in heav’n prepare!
“In my Father’s house
are many mansions;
If it were not so
I would have told you;
In my Father’s house
are many mansions,
I go to prepare a place for you!”
Then let us work, and watch,
and pray,
Relying on the love
Of Him who now prepares a place
For us in heav’n above.
“In my Father’s house
are many mansions;
If it were not so
I would have told you;
In my Father’s house
are many mansions,
I go to prepare a place for you!”
