Death Is Only A Dream Lyrics - The Stanley Brothers

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 

Only a dream, only a dream 

Of glory beyond the dark stream 

How peaceful the slumber, how happy the waking 

Where death is only a dream 

Why should we weep when the weary ones rest 

In the bosom of Jesus supreme 

In the mansions of glory prepared for the blessed 

For death is no more than a dream 

Naught in the river the Saints should appall 

Though' it frightfully dismal may seem 

In the arms of our Savior no ill can befall 

They find it no more than a dream
