How Oft Our Souls Are Lifted Up – Hymn Lyric
How oft our souls are lifted up,
When clouds are dark and drear,
For Jesus comes, and kindly speaks
These loving words of cheer.
Refrain:
“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!”
How oft amid our daily toil,
With anxious care oppressed,
We hear again the precious word
That tells of joy and rest:
Refrain:
“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!”
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!
Refrain:
“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!”
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.
Refrain:
“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!”
