This should be the song you require. Don't have the words about Lazarus though.

MANSION IN THE SKY

O that mansion in the sky
I'm gonna claim one by and by
And I'll never, never die
Hallelujah to the lamb
Come along and go with me
Turn your back on sin and see
You'll be happy as can be
Hallelujah to the lamb.

It may not seem welcome now
At the cross of Christ to bow
But you'll wish you were one of us by and by
When the Saviour comes to claim
Those who've suffered for his name.
And to take them to that mansion in the sky.

I would also like to get hold of any additional words to this song.
God bless

Lazarus covered all in sores laid beside the rich man's doors
and begged to all those who passed him by,
as he passed by him though, little did the rich man know
that poor Lazurus had a mansion in the sky.

O those mansions in the sky
I'm going to claim one by and by
and I'll never, never die. Hallelujah to the Lamb.

Come along and walk with me,
Turn your back on sin and see,
you'll be happy as can be. Hallelujah to the Lamb.

This is what I remember my dad playing on the guitar and singing at bed time when I was a young child. Hope it helps. I'm not sure though if the first par should be past tense or present. I remember past tense.
