"In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you."

"An Empty Mansion"
Music: Clarence A. Luttrell, 1939 Lyrics: Beuna Ora Bryant Karnes, 1937 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." 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. 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, Many friends and dear loved ones Will welcome me there Near the door of that mansion some day. |
