[Verse 1]
I had a great dream from heaven last night
The angel in heaven is calling me home
Thank God I can sing a song of his love
I know some day I'll be singing above

[Verse 1]
I had the great dream from heaven last night
The angel in heaven is calling me home
Thank God I can sing a song of his love
I know some day I'll be singing above

[Chorus]
Glory to Jesus who saved us from sin
Glory to Jesus, our freedom in Him
Thank God I can sing a song of His love
I know some day I'll be singing above

[Verse 2]
When mother and father forsake me, I know
The angel in heaven is calling me home
Thank God I can sing a song of His love
For I know some day I'll be singing above

[Verse 1]
I had the great dream from heaven last night
The angel in heaven is calling me home
Thank God I can sing a song of his love
But I know some day I'll be singing above

Not the Joseph Smith version, but a very nice guitar instrumental version of it

..."Not the Joseph Smith version, but a very nice guitar instrumental version of it" ...

Not bad for a beginner... although "very nice" is stretching it a bit.

Leaving Joseph Spence himself out of the equation, the best version of the song is undoubtedly John Renbourn's, which is available on one of Stefan Grossman's Guitarvideo DVDs. There is another John Renbourn performance on Youtube ... which is not as good as the Guitarvideo performance, but still brilliant (how could it not be ?

Ed Gerhard has a passable version up on Youtube ... it doesn't have the flow of Renbourn's version, but pleasant enough nonetheless.

I have a distinct recollection of hearing Martin and Norma Carthy singing this as well, but for the life of me I can't remember which album it was on.
