A MANSION IN HEAVEN

By John M. Hopkins

JOHN M. HOPKINS (Villard, Minn.)

I've a mansion in heaven all glorious and fair, A home which my Saviour has gone to prepare, In the city of God, by prophets foretold, Whose gates are of pearl, and whose streets are of gold.

In weariness often, and sometimes in pain, I press my way onward: again and again I long for the rest which my Saviour will give To all who in faith and obedience live.

But though there are trials and ills here below, I know I am saved, and rejoicing I go. Praise God for salvation! This now is my song; I sing it each morning, yea, all the day long.

Praise God for salvation! My sins are forgiven, “I'm the child of a King,” with a mansion in heaven; I feast on His goodness, rejoice in His love, An heir of that glory awaiting above.

And so let afflictions and trials befall, By the help of the Lord I shall pass through them all; And praise and rejoice for the grace that is given, This peace here below, and a mansion in heaven.
