An Empty Mansion



Here I labor and toil as I look for a home

Just a humble abode among men

While in Heaven a mansion is waiting for me

And a gentle Voice pleading, “Come in.”



(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 someday



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 saved and the blessed



(Repeat Chorus)



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



(Repeat Chorus)
