How oft our souls are lifted up, When clouds are dark and drear; For Jesus comes, and kindly speaks These loving words of cheer :
"In My Father's house are many mansions ; If it were not so, I would have told you ; In My Father's house are many mansions, I go to prepare a place for you ! "
2. How oft amid our daily toil, With anxious care opprest, We hear again the precious word That tells of joy and rest :
3. Oh, may our faith in Him be strong, Who feels our every care, And will for us-----as He hath said----- A place in heaven prepare !
4. Then let us work, and watch, and Relying on the love [pray, Of Him who now prepares a place For us in heaven above.
