Full Lyrics
[SOLO 1]
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 1]
Jerusalem Jerusalem
lift up your gates and sing.
Hosanna in the highest.
Hosanna to your king
[SOLO 2]
And then me thought my dream was chang'd the streets no longer rang
hushed 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 up on a lonely hill,
as the shadow of a cross arose up on a lonely hill.
[SOLO 3]
And once again the scene was chang'd new earth there seemed 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 over
Hosanna in the highest.
Hosanna for ever more
Hosanna in the highest.
Hosanna for ever more
