There’s a dream that I dream, of my Savior divine,
And I know that my dream will come true;
At the morn, in the night, comes the vision of light,
With a promise eternally new.
Refrain
O this wonderful dream is a secret of grace,
And I would that this secret you knew;
For I dream that at last I shall look on His face,
And I know that my dream will come true.
There is sweet compensation for heartache and loss
In the hope that is given to me;
I shall quickly forget how the road was beset,
When the King in His beauty I see.
Refrain
It will still be my stay when the fashions of earth
In the mist are dissolving away;
For the passage of death will be only a breath—
But a breath, and my dream will come true.
Refrain
