| One time I dreamed of a valley | One time I dreamed of a valley |
| Where shadows quickly fall | Where shadows quickly fall. |
| Where there is no light or beauty, | There is no light or beauty. |
| Dark clouds hanging over all. | Dark clouds hanging over all. |
| With no water in this valley, | |
| All is seared and growing dry | All is seared and growing dry. |
| 'Tis a valley full of evil | This valley is full of evil |
| Where the souls of men quickly die | Where souls of men will soon die. |
| Then I dreamed of a greener valley | Then I dreamed of another valley |
| Where clear sparkling waters flow. | Where clear sparkling waters flow. |
| 'Tis a place of my dearest longings, | A place of my fondest fancies, |
| A place where I long to go. | A place where I long to go. |
| There I'll drink the purest of water; | There I'll drink of the purest waters, |
| Bathe my aching head and my feet; | Bathe my aching head and feet. |
| Dwell there till time is ended. | Dwell there 'till all time is ended |
| Then my valley is made complete. | In a valley that is made complete. |
| Here's a valley that I long for | Here's a valley that I long for |
| Where I shall never grow old. | Where I never shall grow old. |
| To live in heavenly sunlight | And live in His heavenly sunlight |
| Where it never grows dark or cold. | Where it never grows dark or cold. |
| There I'll meet and know my Master. | There I'll meet and know my Master. |
| There I'll receive my robe and my crown. | There receive my robe and crown. |
| Each day it will grow more lovely. | Its beauty will always go with me |
| Each day I will walk it round. | Each day as I walk it round. |
| I long for that beautiful valley | I long for that beautiful valley |
| That is clothed by a sun-kissed veil | That is clothed by a sun-kissed veil. |
| While flowers forever are blooming, | The flowers forever are blooming, |
| And the sunlight never will fail. | And the sunlight never will fail |
| When I see that beautiful valley, | When I come to that beautiful valley, |
| Prepared with my own Savior's love | Prepared with my Savior's love. |
| I know I shall live there forever | I know I shall live there forever |
| With God in the heavens above | With God in the heavens above. |
| Then I dream of another valley | Then, I dream of a greener valley |
| Where I shall never grow old. | Where I never shall grow old. |
| Life-giving waters flow freely | Life-giving waters flow freely |
| For the lambs that are in the fold | For lambs that are in the fold. |
| I shall view its matchless splendor | I shall view its matchless splendor. |
| Through it I shall ever more roam | Through it I shall ever more roam. |
| Walking hand and hand with Jesus | Walking hand in hand with Jesus |
| In the valley I now call my home. | In a valley that I now call my home. |
