In My Father’s house are many mansions…I go to prepare a place for you.
John 14:2
Words: E. Hez Swem, in The Glad Refrain (New York & Chicago, Illinois: Biglow & Main, 1886), number 32.
Music: W. Howard Doane (🔊 pdf nwc).
The welcome news my soul makes glad,
Heav’n is mine, Heav’n is mine;
If thou wilt let my Savior in,
Heav’n is thine, Heav’n is thine.
Refrain
’Tis Heav’n on earth to think, to know,
Though I want, though I roam,
My mansion’s made, my master waits,
Heav’n is mine, Heav’n is home.
My weary soul is comforted,
Heav’n is mine, Heav’n is mine;
When thy soul clings to Christ my Lord,
Heav’n is thine, Heav’n is thine.
Refrain
My burdens fall, my cares are gone,
Heav’n is mine, Heav’n is mine;
When thou wilt let Christ bear thy sins,
Heav’n is thine, Heav’n is thine.
Refrain
In hours of day, in dreams of night,
Heav’n is mine, Heav’n is mine;
O Christian, watch, and pray and praise;
Heav’n is thine, Heav’n is thine.
