Does anyone know this song?   The first line is "When burdens come so hard to bear That no earthly friend could share"

Thanks
Judy

I NEED NO MANSION HERE

When burdens come so hard to bear
That no earthly friend can share
Tears drive away the smiles and leave my heart in pain.
Then my Lord from heaven above
Speaks to me in tones of love,
Wipes the tears away, and makes me smile again.

CHORUS: I need no mansion here below
For Jesus said that I could go
To a home beyond the clouds not made with hands.
Won't you come and go along?
We will sing the sweetest song
Ever played upon the harps in Gloryland.

Oh the tho't to me is sweet
That my loved ones I shall meet
At the ending of the journey here below.
Seems I hear their voices blend
In a world without an end.
I won't worry when the time shall come to go. CHORUS

When Jesus comes to claim his own,
I will move to my new home.
I'll walk and talk with him upon the streets of gold.
A mansion there is waiting me.
Soon its beauty I will see
In that city where we never shall grow old. CHORUS
