C                      F
Sadly we sing and with tremulous breath
      C                     G7
As we stand by the mystical stream
       C                      F
In the valley and by the dark river of death
    C           G7          C
And yet ’tis no more than a dream


 [Chorus]
F            C
Only a dream only a dream
                         G7
Of glory beyond the dark stream
C
How peaceful the slumber
    F         C
How happy the waking
             G7     C
For death is only a dream

 [Verse 2]
  C                          F
Why should we weep when the weary ones rest
       C                G7
In the bosom of Jesus supreme
C                        F
In the mansions of glory prepared for the blessed
    C           G7          C
For death is no more than a dream


 [Chorus]
F            C
Only a dream only a dream
                         G7
Of glory beyond the dark stream
C
How peaceful the slumber
    F         C
How happy the waking
             G7     C
For death is only a dream

 [Verse 3]
 C                        F
Naught in the river the Saints should appall
           C                      G7
Though’ it frightfully dismal may seem
       C                     F
In the arms of our Savior no ill can befall
     C          G7          C
They find it no more than a dream


 [Chorus]
F            C
Only a dream only a dream
                         G7
Of glory beyond the dark stream
C
How peaceful the slumber
    F         C
How happy the waking
             G7     C
For death is only a dream
