Mansion Over the Hilltop

         C                  F     C
I’m satisfied with just a cottage below,
         G7                  C
A little silver and a little gold;
                           F        C
But in that city where the ransomed will shine,
         G7                     C
I want a gold one that’s silver lined.


Chorus:

           F                     C
I’ve got a mansion just over the hilltop,
                    G7                     C
In that bright land where we’ll never grow old;
      F	                              C
And someday yonder we will never more wander,
             G7                      C
But walk the streets that are purest gold.


Though often tempted, tormented, and tested,
And like the prophet my pillow’s a stone;
And though 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 a city,
I want a mansion, a harp, and a crown.
