Not Made with Hands
(or My Savior's Gone a Mansion to Prepare)
}
My Savior's gone a mansion to prepare,
In yon fair lands;
Adorned it will be with jewels rare,
Not made, not made with hands.
How wonderful the story I've been told,
That in those lands
The gates are all pearl, the streets are gold,
Not made, not made with hands.
Just over there, its splendor I can see,
All fair it stands;
How wondrous this dwelling place for me,
Not made, not made with hands.
There all the ransom'd robed in spotless white,
Dwell in those lands,
Securely within that home of light,
Not made, not made with hands.
When life is o'er, some morning bright and fair,
I'll have these lands;
With all the redeemed, a crown to wear,
Not made, not made with hands.
Chorus I know, I know,
In heav'n for me a mansion stands;
A home, a home,
Not made with hands.
