27. I Have Dreamed Sweet Dreams

1 I have dreamed sweet dreams of a better home,
Of a better home than this,
Of a home where sorrows never come,
Where all is perfect bliss.

Chorus:
Happy home, sweet home, my precious home,
How I long thy bliss to share!
Saviour, take me when life's work is done,
To enjoy the glory there.

2 I have dreamed sweet dreams of a better life,
Of a better life than this,
Where there is no conflict and no strife,
Where all is perfect bliss. [Chorus]

3 I have dreamed sweet dreams of a better land,
Of a better land than this,
Where the ransomed tread the golden strand,
Where joy shall never cease. [Chorus]
