I Dreamed I Searched Heaven for You

(James D. Vaughn - Mary Ethel Weiss)



I dreamed I had gone to that city

That city where never comes night

And I saw the right angels in Glory

I saw their fair mansions of light.



I gazed for long, long years of rapture

On the face of my Saviour so true

And I sang with the seraphim holy

Then I dreamed I searched heaven for you.



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.



---Instrumental ---



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 Thy trod.



The faces of saints by the millions

I scanned in my yearning to see

That face I had cherrished so fondly

The face that had grown dear to me.



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....
