In One of My Dreams
In one of my dreams While sleeping in peace I saw three fathers And a soldier strong, yet meek
In one of my dreams A great and beautiful scene I saw three fathers And a soldier strong, yet meek
One had a long white beard Old in age and held a rod He lived in a distant cave Held the writings that he taught
His sayings were plenty And the demons he fought (My beloved Abba Anthony May his blessings be with me) x2
Quickly I ran to him Kissed the cross in his hand He urged me to remember From sin I must withstand
In one of my dreams While sleeping in peace I saw three fathers And a soldier strong, yet meek
In one of my dreams A great and beautiful scene I saw three fathers And a soldier strong, yet meek
The second had a sack Carried it on his back He walked around with care And from it sand poured out
He said these are my sins In God's mercy do not doubt (My beloved Abba Moses The strong and the holy) X2
Quickly I ran with him To bear my sufferings He urged me to remember The way of repentance
In one of my dreams While sleeping in peace I saw three fathers And a soldier strong, yet meek
In one of my dreams A great and beautiful scene I saw three fathers And a soldier strong, yet meek
The third was kneeling down In the corner of his room He had a bowl of water With love he was consumed
He lived with our Lord Washed the feet of the bridegroom (My beloved Abba Pishoy With love in Christ he grew) x2
Quickly I ran to him In peace he let me in He urged me to remember Have love for all humans
In one of my dreams While sleeping in peace I saw three fathers And a soldier strong, yet meek
In one of my dreams A great and beautiful scene I saw three fathers And a soldier strong, yet meek
And the soldier was standing lifting up his hands A red cloak on his shoulders, two camels in the sand
Armour on his chest The monastery behind him (My beloved St. Mina The faithful intercessor) x2
Quickly I ran to him With open arms he came my way He urged me to remember Be steadfast in the faith
In one of my dreams While sleeping in peace I saw three fathers And a soldier strong, yet meek
In one of my dreams A great and beautiful scene I saw three fathers And a soldier strong, yet meek
