HEAVENLY MANSIONS.

By P. Alderman

Look up, lonely pilgrim and weary, Bright mansions are waiting above, No heart can conceive of their beauty; They are builded in infinite love.

There are mansions on earth, all resplendent With carvings and paintings of art; But sin and death enter their portals— And dwell there the weary in heart.

But the golden-paved mansions of Heaven, The feet of no vile one have trod, No sin can the pearly gates enter, They wait for the people of God.

O pilgrim, grown weary with toiling, The rough journey soon will be passed, And safe in the mansions immortal The tired shall enter at last

I'll watch for the glorious morning Whose dawning already appears; The dawning the prophets discovered, Down through the vista of years.

See Jesus preparing the mansions For all who are loyal and true, And, “Watch,” was the message he left us; “Soon I am coming for you.”
