How oft our souls are lifted up, When clouds are dark and drear, For Jesus comes, and kindly speaks These loving words of cheer.
Chorus
“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!”
Verse 2
How oft amid our daily toil, With anxious care oppressed, We hear again the precious word That tells of joy and rest:
Chorus
“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!”
Verse 3
Oh, may our faith in Him be strong, Who feels our ev’ry care. And will for us— as He hath said— A place in heav’n prepare!

“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!”
Verse 4
Then let us work, and watch, and pray, Relying on the love Of Him who now prepares a place For us in heav’n above.
Chorus
“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!”
