Mansion Over The Hilltop |
|
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 some day yonder we'll never more wander |
But walk on streets that are purest gold |
|
Though often tempted, tormented and tested |
And, like the prophet, my pillow a stone |
And tho' I find here no permanent dwelling |
I know He'll give me a mansion my own |
|
Don't think me poor or deserted or lonely |
I'm not discouraged I'm heavenly bound |
I'm just a pilgrim in search of the city |
I want a mansion, a harp and a crown |
