Jacob's Dream |
In the spring of 1856, with the snow still on the ground |
Two little boys were lost in the mountains above the town |
The father went out hunting; |
the boys had stayed behind |
While mother tended to her chores, they wandered from her side |
The two had gone to follow him and lost their way instead |
By dusk the boys had not been found and fear had turned to dread |
Two hundred men had gathered there to comb the mountainside |
The fires were built on the highest peak in hopes they’d see the light |
Oh Mommy and Daddy, why can’t you hear our cries? |
The day is almost over, soon it will be night |
We’re so cold and hungry and our feet are tired and sore |
We promise not to stray again from our cabin door |
Now Jacob Dibert woke one night from a strange and eerie dream |
He saw a path between two hills near a dark and swollen stream |
He told his wife he saw the boys huddled close beside a log |
For two more nights, the dream returned, this vision sent from God |
Oh Mommy and Daddy, why can’t you hear our cries? |
The day is almost over, soon it will be night |
We’re so cold and hungry and our feet are tired and sore |
We promise not to stray again from our cabin door |
A thousand men had searched in vain the west side of Bob’s Creek |
But Jacob’s wife knew of this place and said to travel east |
With a guide to take him there, Jacob came upon the scene |
And found the boys cold and still, beneath the old birch tree |
Oh Mommy and Daddy, look past the tears you cry |
We’re both up in heaven now; |
God is by our side |
As you lay us down to rest in the presence of the Lord |
Know that we will meet you here at heaven’s door |
Oh Mommy and Daddy, look past the tears you cry |
We’re both up in heaven now; |
God is by our side |
And as you lay us down to rest in the presence of the Lord |
Know that we will meet you here at heaven’s door |
