Jacob's Dream

Author: Fanny J. Crosby Hymnal: Joyful Lays #18 (1884) First Line: Day had softly faded Refrain First Line: O that night at Bethel! Lyrics: 1 Day had softly faded In the golden west; Jacob, sad and lonely, Laid him down to rest; Tho' a stone his pillow, Soon he calmly slept,. While the stars above him Silent vigil kept. Refrain: O that night at Bethel! Bright with joy its holy beam; There his soul uplifted, Heard the voice of God in a dream. 2 On a wondrous ladder, Reaching to the skies, Angel forms descending, Fill'd him with surprise; From its lofty summit, Came the words divine: I, the Lord, have promis'd, Lo, this land is thine. [Refrain] 3 Far from home and kindred, In that lonely spot God was watching o’er him, Yet he knew it not; Thus the hand whose mercy Governs all our ways, Out of deepest trial, Brings the highest praise. [Refrain] Scripture: Genesis 35:6 Languages: English Tune Title: [Day had softly faded]
