Only a dream, only a dream
Of glory beyond the dark stream
How peaceful the slumber, how happy the waking
For death is only a dream

My road was dark but the light came at last
And flooded my soul with its gleams
True that this life is like clouds overcast
For death is only a dream

Only a dream, only a dream
Of glory beyond the dark stream
How peaceful the slumber, how happy the waking
For death is only a dream

My Lord I know the way for doing this life
How shall I cross the dark stream?
Jesus has given me gracious relief
For death is only a dream

Only a dream, only a dream
Of glory beyond the dark stream
How peaceful the slumber, how happy the waking
For death is only a dream

My Lord I’ve seen through veil covered clouds
To the banks of a beautiful stream
Where the saints have prepare a feast for the Lord
For death is only a dream

Only a dream, only a dream
Of glory beyond the dark stream
How peaceful the slumber, how happy the waking
For death is only a dream

My Lord tell Father I’ve seen that bright home
That God gave his Son to redeem
I know He’s been faithful and the glory unfolds
For death is only a dream
