Mansion Over The Hilltop

Ira F. Stanphill


Verse
         C        F                 C
I'm satisfied with just a cottage below,

         G                   C
A little silver and a little gold;

                F                        C
But in that city where the ransomed will shine,

  F    F# G                      C F C
I want a  gold one that's silver-lined.

Chorus

           F                     C
I've got a mansion just over the hilltop,

   F    F#     G                           C
In that bright land where we'll never grow old;

            F                        C
And someday yonder we will nevermore wonder,

    F    F#  G                       C F C
But walk the 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 jsut a pilgrim in search of a city,
I want a mansion, a harp and a crown.
