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,
Methought the voice of Angels
From Heav'n in answer rang,
Methought 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 methought my dream was chang'd,
The streets no longer rang.
Hush'd were the glad Hosannas
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 evermore,
Hosanna in the highest,
Hosanna for evermore,
Hosanna in the highest,
Hosanna for evermore,
Hosanna in the highest,
Hosanna for evermore.
