| I dreamed I had gone to that city
|
| That city where never comes night
|
| And I thought of right angels in glory
|
| I thought of their mansions of light
|
| I gazed for long long years of rapture
|
| On the face of my saviour so true
|
| And I sang with the servants in holy
|
| Then I dreamed I searched heaven for you
|
| I dreamed I searched heaven for you
|
| Searched vainly true heaven for you
|
| Oh won’t you prepare to meet me up there
|
| That’s we should search heaven for you
|
| I looked on both sides of the river
|
| That flows through the city of God
|
| I searched through bright mansions celestial
|
| And streets of gold pavement thy trod
|
| The faces of saints by the millions
|
| I scanned in my yearning to see
|
| That face I had cherished so fondly
|
| The face that had grown dear to me
|
| I dreamed I searched heaven for you… |
