God’s Family Hymnal 12:78

【Out of the Valley into Glory】

1 I have a dream from heaven high,

Scorned by many, misunderstood by man.

In the long dark valley, his presence shines forth,

Sets us free from shadows binding us.

O in this land of grief He prospers me!

Now glorious joy summons all toil and pain!

His dream and mine, this glorious vision,

How can my heart deny?

2 He is the First, He is the Last;

He sustains me with courage and with faith!

From my heart overflows a song of boastful hope.

With one heart, let’s run this final race!

This is the core of God’s work in this age!

How blessed! We pursue You by Your side!

Suff’ring is gone; glory has dawned!

Leaping with joy, we finish His will!

3 This movement’s passed the dark valley!

His hand causes all things to work for us,

Leads us through floods and fires into the Promised Land

‘valley of tears’ out-flows the springs of life!

O in the land of grief He prospers me!

Now glorious joy surmounts all toil and pain!

For sure will be fulfilled!

Glory and joy ever in crossing!

Exultantly, we’ll welcome that day!

Triumphantly, we’ll meet in the clouds!

Gloriously Beloved, may You come soon!

【Genesis 37:5-11, 19, 36】

5 Now Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers they hated him even more.

6 He said to them, "Hear this dream that I have dreamed:

7 Behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf arose and stood upright. And behold, your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down to my sheaf."

8 His brothers said to him, "Are you indeed to reign over us? Or are you indeed to rule over us?" So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.

9 Then he dreamed another dream and told it to his brothers and said, "Behold, I have dreamed another dream. Behold, the sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me."

10 But when he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him and said to him, "What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves to the ground before you?"

11 And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the saying in mind.

19 They said to one another, "Here comes this dreamer.

36 Meanwhile the Midianites had sold him in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard.
