Mansion Over the Hilltop Songtext
von Daniel O’Donnell

I′m satisfied with just a cottage below
A little silver and a little gold
But in that city where the ransomed will shine
I want a gold one that's silver lined

I′ve got a mansion just over the hilltop
In that bright land where we'll never grow old
And some day yonder we'll never more wander
But walk on streets that are purest gold

Those often tempted, tormented and tested
And, like the prophet, my pillow a stone
And those I find here no permanent dwelling
I know he′ll give me a mansion my own


I′ve got a mansion just over the hilltop
In that bright land where we'll never grow old
And some day yonder we′ll never more wander
But walk on streets that are purest gold

Don't think me poor or deserted or lonely
I′m not discouraged 'cause I′m heaven bound
I'm just a pilgrim in search of the city
I want a mansion, a harp and a crown

I've got a mansion just over the hilltop
In that bright land where we′ll never grow old
And some day yonder we′ll never more wander
But walk on streets that are purest gold

And some day yonder we'll never more wander
But walk on streets that are purest gold
