Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: More Voices #158 (2007) First Line: Dream a dream, a hopeful dream Lyrics: 1 Dream a dream, a hopeful dream,
as children do on Christmas Eve,
imaginings, surprising things
to hold and to believe.
2 Dream a time, this Christmas time,
when no one's hungry or afraid;
that weapons go and harvests grow,
that friends are met and made.
3 Dream a peace, our planet's peace,
the greening of the earth at play,
the holy ground where life is found,
where God has touched the clay.
4 Dream a gift, the Christmas gift
that changes every thing we see:
the shimmering of angel wing,
the Child, the Mystery. Topics: Response; Angels; Christian Year Christmas; Creation; Justice; Kingdom; Mystery; Service Music Gathering; Service Music Response / Affirmation; Service Music Sending Forth Languages: English Tune Title: [Dream a dream, a hopeful dream]
