The Holy City (jerusalem)
Last night I lay a-sleeping
There came a dream so fair
I stood in old Jerusalem
Beside the Temple there
I heard the children singing
And ever as they sang
Methought the voice of angel
From Heav'n in answer rang
Methought the voice of angel
From Heav'n in answer rang
chorus
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Lift up your gates and sing
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna to your King
And then methought my dream was changed
The streets no longer rang
But with a glad Hosann
The little children sang
The sun grew dark with mystery
The morn was cold and chill
But the shadow of a cross aros
Upon a lonely hill
But the shadow of a cross aros
Upon a lonely hill
choru
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Hark, how the angels sin
Hosanna through the ages
Hosanna to your King
Then once again the scene was changed
New earth there seemed to be
I saw the Holy Cit
Beside the timeless sea
The light of God was on its streets
The gates were open wide
And all who would might ente
And no one was denied
No need of moon nor stars by nigh
Or sun to shine by day
It was the new Jerusale
That would not pass away
It was the new Jerusale
That would not pass awa
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Sing for the night is o'er
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna for ever more
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna for ever more
