DEATH IS ONLY A DREAM
Sadly we sing, and with tremulous breath, As we stand by the Mystical stream, in the valley and by the dark river of death and yet tis no more than a dream.
Why should we weep when the weary one rest in the bosom of Jesus supreme, in the mansions of glory prepare for the blest? For death is no more than a dream.
