I dreamed that I had left this world
And the Eastern Gate opened for me
Daddy, Mother and Lena were there
Oh, what a wondrous jubilee
My mind could hardly comprehend
The splendor of that Heavenly place
Greeting loved ones who had gone before
And feeling their warm embrace
A setting of peace and grandeur
Flowers blooming in every hue
Crystal fountains were overflowing
Beside a place where roses grew
Such magnificence I had never seen
Everyone dressed in robes of white
Their toils of life all behind them
Now surrounded by a brilliant light
There was a mansion reserved for me
And the streets were paved with gold
Jesus took my hand to lead me there
Welcomed me into the Heavenly fold
Jesus promised me that Heaven
Would be my inheritance
But I must return to my mortal life
And work to earn my recompense
When I awoke and looked around
My soul filled with anticipation
For I believe in Jesus' promise
That Heaven is my destination
