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
