Lyrics

Dreams of a land mine eyes shall see,
Sweep thro’ my soul tonight;
Land where the glo­ri­fied will be,
Robed in eter­nal light.

Refrain

Oh, land, beau­ti­ful land
Where my Sav­ior dwells,
Place of which my Bi­ble
And the ag­es tell,
Oh, land, beau­ti­ful land
Where sweet mu­sic swells,
Won’t you meet me there?

Dreams of the songs
Mine eyes shall hear,
Flood all my soul to­night;
Songs whis­pe­ring words
Of hope and cheer,
Known in the song-land bright.

Refrain

Dream of all dreams when I awake,
And look up­on His face;
Dream of all dreams,
When morn shall break,
And I am saved by grace.
