It's a churchyard auction A sight to see Where the eyes are big And the odds are lean The pockets all are empty The chances are all gone But there's a free bet yet on a house of stone House of stone
Now some may sing sounds of Hallelujah And dream about a mansion of gold But to each be true and to each be known My dreams all are resting on a house of stone A house of stone
Say that devil's a sly one With many kind friends His riches are boundless They know no end Down in the valley The shadow's grown But in the light of Calvary sits a house of stone A house of stone
