Yet in my heart, the battle was still raging Not all prisoners of war had come home These were battlefields of my own making I didn’t know that the war had been won
Oh, but then I heard the King of the ages Had fought all the battles for me
And that victory was mine for the claiming And now praise His name, I am free.

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 will never more wander But walk on streets that are purest gold
Don’t think me poor or deserted or lonely I’m not discouraged I’m heaven bound I’m but a pilgrim in search of the city
I want a mansion, a harp and a crown
I’ve got a mansion just over the hilltop
In that bright land where we’ll never grow old And some day yonder we will never more wander But walk on streets that are purest gold

There’s a land that is fairer than day, And by faith we can see it afar; For the Father waits over the way To prepare us a dwelling place there.
Refrain
In the sweet by and by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore; In the sweet by and by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.
We shall sing on that beautiful shore The melodious songs of the blessed; And our spirits shall sorrow no more, Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.
To our bountiful Father above,
We will offer our tribute of praise For the glorious gift of His love And the blessings that hallow our days.
