Thread Name: Lyr Req: There's a City Built of Mansions
Subject: RE: Lyrics--There's a City Built of Mansions
There's a city built of mansions
Will there be one there for me
Now I learned to love and trust him
He will never yield(?) my side....<--- [This line is making me crazy]
Though temptations gather round me
And I cannot see my way
That just means that all our loved ones
Have met us in eternity.

Let dear Jesus gently guide me
Oer that fortress dark and wide
Let dear Jesus gently guide me
Safely to the other side
When my work on earth is ended
And now I sleep beneath the sod
Will my soul be with an angel
Around the precious throne of God.

Now I wandered far in darkness
Where my savior showed me light
Now I learned to love and trust him
He was ever near my side
Though temptations gather round me
And I cannot see my way
That just mean that all our loved ones
Have met us in eternity



The above is what I am hearing. One of the singers (high voice) pronounces now as nour (rhymes with hour); elsewhere, that same singer pronounces throne a to rhyme with stone. I wonder if it's dialect, lisp or problems with teeth/tongue.
