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. Refrain: I dreamed I searched Heaven for you Searched vainly through 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 through the city of God I searched through 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. Refrain: I asked of ten thousand sweet angels Have you seen this beloved one, pray tell? Have you met in the bright courts of Heaven That one whom on earth we loved well? They shook their heads sadly and told me That they had not seen you, and then I knew that somewhere in the darkness You wandered, lost in your sin. Refrain:
