I Dreamed I Searched Heaven for You - Carl Smith

I dreamed I had gone to that city

That city where never comes night

And I thought of right angels in glory

I thought of their mansions of light

I gazed for long long years of rapture

On the face of my saviour so true

And I sang with the servants in holy

Then I dreamed I searched heaven for you

I dreamed I searched heaven for you

Searched vainly true heaven for you

Oh won’t you prepare to meet me up there

That’s we should search heaven for you

I looked on both sides of the river

That flows through the city of God

I searched through bright mansions celestial

And streets of gold pavement thy trod

The faces of saints by the millions

I scanned in my yearning to see

That face I had cherished so fondly

The face that had grown dear to me

I dreamed I searched heaven for you…
