I dreamed I had gone to that city

That city where never comes night

And I saw the bright angels in glory

I saw the fair mansions of light



I gazed for long, long years of rapture

On the face of my Savior so true

And I sang with the seraphim holy

Then I dreamed I searched heaven for you



(Chorus)

I dreamed I searched heaven for you

Searched vainly thru heaven for you

Oh, won't you prepare, to meet me up there

Lest we should search heaven for you



I looked on both sides of the river

That flows thru the City of God

I searched thru bright mansions celestial

And streets of gold pavement I trod



The faces of saints by the million

I scanned in my yearning to see

That face I had cherished so fondly

The face that had grown dear to me



(Repeat chorus
