6753. Till the Boat Comes By

1. In the house of many mansions,
With its portals bright and fair,
I am laying up my treasures,
And my heart will soon be there.

Refrain
At the river that divides me
From my Father’s house on high,
I am waiting, I am watching,
Till the boat comes by.

2. I have seen it in the distance,
As it bent its snowy sail,
To the music of the waters,
And the whisper of the gale. [Refrain]

3. In the house of many mansions,
Dwells my Savior and my king;
I shall see Him in His beauty,
And His praise my tongue shall sing. [Refrain]

4. Oh, that boat will soon be coming,
It will bear me home, I know,
To the house of many mansions,
And the friends of long ago. [Refrain]
