- 1There is a house not made with hands,
- Eternal and on high;
- And here my spirit waiting stands,
- And here my spirit waiting stands,
- Till God shall bid it fly.
- 2Shortly this prison of my clay
- Must be dissolved and fall,
- Then, O my soul! with joy obey
- Then, O my soul! with joy obey
- Thy Heavenly Father's call.
- 3'Tis He, by His almighty grace,
- That forms thee fit for heaven,
- And as an earnest of the place,
- And as an earnest of the place,
- Has His own Spirit given.
- 4We walk by faith of joys to come,
- Faith lives upon His word;
- But while the body is our home,
- But while the body is our home,
- We're absent from the Lord.
- 5Amen.
