Chorus: Then, O say, will there be A bright mansions for me When the Lord in His glory I see? When thro’ infinite grace We shall meet face to face, Will there be a bright mansion for me? 2 For my Master so dear Am I laboring here? Am I doing my best ev’ry day? Do I walk in the light Of His presence so bright, Seeking only His will to obey? [Chorus] 3 In those mansions secure That for aye shall endure, Have I laid up my treasures so fair? Is my heart pure and right In my Lord’s holy sight? Am I sure of my heritage there? [Chorus] 4 Help me now to be true In each task that I do, Keep me steadfast and faithful to Thee; That at last with my Lord I may share the reward In the home Thou preparest for me. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [O'er my spirit tonight]
