Thy portals they are golden, And those who enter in Shall know no more of sorrow, Of weariness and sin. Refrain: O house of many mansions, Thy doors are open wide, And dear are all the faces Upon the other side. 2 O house of many mansions, My weary spirit waits And longs to join the ransom'd Within thy pearly gates; Who enter thro' thy portals, The mansions of the blest; Who come to thee a weary, And find in thee their rest.
