Beautiful dream
Author: Knowles Shaw Hymnal: The Morning Star #52 (1877) First Line: I dreamed of the land of the pure and bright Refrain First Line: O! that beautiful dream Lyrics: 1 I dreamed of the land of the pure and bright,
The city of God, the saint's delight,
And the saints of all ages and children were there,
That city of God and that home to share.
Chorus:
O! that beautiful dream;
O! that beautiful dream;
Shall I the saints, and those children see,
Or, shall it be only a dream?
2 I dreamed that the trials of life were o'er,
And the saints were walking the golden shore;
Where they ate of the fruit of life's evergreen tree,
O! beautiful, beautiful dream to me. [Chorus]
3 I dreamed that I saw them in robes of white;
With crowns on their brow of golden light;
I looked as they wandered life's river along,
I listened and heard a most beautiful song. [Chorus] Tune Title: [I dreamed of the land of the pure and bright]

Knowles Shaw
1834 - 1878 Person Name: K. Shaw Author of "My Beautiful Dream" in Sparkling Jewels for the Sunday School Knowles Shaw (1834-1878), a name familiar in many western households--was born near New London, in Morgan Township, Ohio, on the 13th of October, 1834. His mother's maiden name was Huldah Griffin, and by both of his parents he was of Scottish extraction. His early life was spent in Rush County, Indiana, where he first began to play the violin, furnishing the music for many a dance. While the ball was going on he was converted, ceasing to play in the middle of the piece he was performing. Very soon thereafter he entered the ministry of the Christian Church. On the 11th of January, 1855, he married Miss Martha Finley. Most of his time after entering the ministry was spent in the West and South, and on account of his wonderful vocal powers he was called the "singing evangelist."
As a singer he was considered, in some respects, equal to Sankey and Bliss. reporters of the press al spoke of his singing as something wonderful. Soon after beginning to preach, he began to compose and to write music. His first song was "The Shining Ones," still popular. He published at different times five singing-books: "Shining Pearls," "Golden Gate," "Sparkling Jewels," "The Gospel Trumpet," and the "Morning Star." "Bringing in the Sheaves" was one of the last songs from his hand.
His last meeting was held in Dallas, Texas, in May 1878. He was killed by a railroad accident, going from Dallas to McKinney, on the 7th of June, 1878. During his ministry he baptized over eleven thousand persons.
