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 a gentle voice pleading "come in".

Chorus

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 the saved and the blest.

Chorus

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 arch angel as guest.

Chorus

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.
