Lyrics:
First verse
One night I dreamed a dream so strange, O, hearken to my story! For in my heart it wrought a change, This dream of bliss and glory. I knew not where my footst stray'd, The darkness was appalling; Then on mine ear, to calm all fear, These words came softly falling Remember thy Redeemer, Though sleep be the path and dim, For He will not forsake thee If thou'lt only trust in Him; Remember thy Redeemer, Twill help thee to brave the test, O, cease to grieve, His Word believe, And then thou shalt soon find rest
Second verse
The gates of Heav'n then open'd wide, I saw the crystal river, The paradise to none denied, Where hearts are parted never. I prayed that I myself might join Those round the White Throne kneeling; In answer then I heard again These words so full of feeling Remember thy Redeemer, Though sleep be the path and dim, For He will not forsake thee If thou'lt only trust in Him; Remember thy Redeemer, Twill help thee to brave the test, O, cease to grieve, His Word believe, And then thou shalt soon find rest
