Hymn no. 1016, verse 1¶

We cannot see the love of God,

Which saves us from the Fall,

Yet know that Christ from wood and nails

Built mansions for us all.

The words “Christ from wood and nails built mansions for us all” are a poetic expression that reminds us of the Savior’s Crucifixion and His gift of eternal life. The Lord told His disciples: “In my Father’s house are many mansions. … I go to prepare a place for you” (John 14:2).
