Full Lyrics
SOLO
Last night I lay asleeping,
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,
Me thought the voice of Angels from heav'n in answer rang
Me thought the voice of angels from heav'n in answer rang
CHORUS
Jerusalem! Jerusalem!
Lift up your gates and sing
Hosanna in the highest,
Hosanna to your King
SOLO
And then me thought my dream was chang'd,
The streets no longer rang,
Hush'd were the glad Hosanna
The little children sang.
The sun grew dark with mystery,
The morn was cold and chill,
As the shadow of a cross arose upon a lonely hill,
As the shadow of a cross arose upon a lonely hill
CHORUS
Jerusalem! Jerusalem!
Hark how the angels sing
Hosanna in the highest,
Hosanna to your King
SOLO
And once again the scene was chang'd,
New earth there seem'd to be,
I saw the holy city
Beside the tideless sea;
The light of God was on its streets,
The gates were open wide,
And all who would might enter there
And no one was denied
No need of moon or stars by night,
Or sun to shine by day
It was the new Jerusalem,
That would not pass away,
It was the new Jerusalem,
That would not pass away
CHORUS
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
