Jacob's Dream
2
In the spring of 1856 with the snow still on the ground
3
Two little boys were lost in the mountains above the town
4
The father went out hunting the boys had stayed behind
5
While mother tended to her chores they wandered from her side
6
The two had gone to follow him and lost their way instead
7
By dusk the boys had not been found and fear had turned to dread
8
200 men had gathered there to comb the mountain side
9
The fires were built on the highest peak in hopes they'd see the light
10
Oh mommy and daddy why can't you hear our cries
11
The day is almost over, soon it will be night
12
We're so cold and hungry and our feet are tired and sore
13
We promise not to stray again from our cabin door
14
Now Jacob Diverd woke one night from a strange and erie dream
15
He saw a path between two hills near a dark and swollen stream
16
He told his wife he saw the boys huddled close beside a log
17
For two more nights the dream returned this vision sent from God
18
Oh mommy and daddy why can't you hear our cries
19
The day is almost over, soon it will be night
20
We're so cold and hungry and our feet are tired and sore
21
We promise not to stray again from our cabin door
22
A thousand men had searched in vain the west side of pop's creek
23
But Jacob's wife knew of this place and said to travel east
24
With a guide to take him there, Jacob came upon the scene
25
And found the boys cold and still beneath the old birch tree
26
Oh mommy and daddy, look past the tears you cry
27
We're both up in Heaven now, God is by our side
28
As you lay us down to rest in the presence of the Lord
29
Know that we will meet you here at Heaven's door
30
Oh mommy and daddy, look past the tears you cry
31
We're both up in Heaven now, God is by our side
32
And as you lay us down to rest in the presence of the Lord
33
Know that we will meet you here at Heaven's door
