|
I'm satisfied with just a cottage below |
|
A little silver and a little gold |
|
But in that city, where the ransomed will shine |
|
I want a gold one, that's silver lined |
|
I've got a mansion just over the hilltop |
|
In that bright land where we'll never grow old |
|
And someday yonder, we'll never more wander |
|
But walk on streets that are purest gold |
|
Though often tempted, tormented and tempted |
|
And like the prophet my pillow is stone |
|
And though |
|
I find here no permanent dwelling |
|
I know he'll give me a mansion my own |
|
I've got a mansion just over the hilltop |
|
In that bright land where we'll never grow old |
|
And someday yonder, we'll never more wander |
|
But walk on streets that are purest gold |
|
Don't think me poor |
|
Lord, deserted or lonely |
|
I'm not discouraged, 'cause |
|
I'm heaven bound |
|
I'm just a pilgrim in search of a city |
|
I want a mansion, a harp, and a crown |
|
I've got a mansion just over the hilltop |
|
In that bright land where we'll never grow old |
|
And someday yonder, we will never more wander |
|
But walk on streets that are purest gold |
