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 I hear the voice pleading, "Come in"

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

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 archangels as guests

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
