EN
I'm satisfied with just a cottage below A little silver and a little gold But in that city where the ransomed will shine I want a gold one that's silver lined I've got a mansion just over the hilltop In that bright land where we'll never grow old And some day yonder we'll never more wander But walk on streets that are purest gold Tho' often tempted, tormented and tested And, like the prophet, my pillow a stone And tho' I find here no permanent dwelling I know He'll give me a mansion my own Don't think me poor or deserted or lonely I'm not discouraged I'm heaven bound I'm just a pilgrim in search of the city I want a mansion, a harp and a crown
