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

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

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

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 be low

And my hands shall be folded in rest

I'll exchange this old home for a mansion up there

And invite the arch angel 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
