Sadly we sing, and with tremulous breath, As we stand by the mystical stream, In the valley and by the dark river of death, And yet ’tis no more than a dream.
Refrain
Only a dream, only a dream, And glory beyond the dark stream; How peaceful the slumber, How happy the waking; For death is only a dream.
Why should we weep when the weary ones rest In the bosom of Jesus supreme, In the mansions of glory prepared for the blest? For death is no more than a dream.
Refrain
Naught in the river the saints should appall, Tho’ it frightfully dismal may seem; In the arms of their Savior no ill can befall, They find it no more than a dream.
Refrain
Over the turbid and onrushing tide Doth the light of eternity gleam; And the ransomed the darkness and storm shall outride, To wake with glad smiles from their dream.
Refrain
