- 2How wonderful the story I've been told,That in (That in) those lands, (those lands,)The gates all are pearl, the streets are gold,Not made, not made with hands.I know, I know,(I know, I know, I know, I know,) in heav'n for me a mansion stands;A home, a home,(a home, a home, a home, a home,)Not made with hands.(Not made, not made with hands.)
- 3Just over there, its splendor I can see,All fair (All fair) it stands; (it stands;)How wondrous this dwelling place for me,Not made, not made with hands.I know, I know,(I know, I know, I know, I know,) in heav'n for me a mansion stands;A home, a home,(a home, a home, a home, a home,)Not made with hands.(Not made, not made with hands.)
- 4There all the ransom'd robed in spotless white,Dwell in (Dwell in) those lands, (those lands,)Securely within that home of light,Not made, not made with hands.I know, I know,(I know, I know, I know, I know,) in heav'n for me a mansion stands;A home, a home,(a home, a home, a home, a home,)Not made with hands.(Not made, not made with hands.)
- 5When life is o'er, some morning bright and fair,I’ll leave (I’ll leave) these lands; (these lands;)With all the redeemed, a crown to wear,Not made, not made with hands.I know, I know,(I know, I know, I know, I know,) in heav'n for me a mansion stands;A home, a home,(a home, a home, a home, a home,)Not made with hands.(Not made, not made with hands.)
