Full Lyrics
SOLO 1
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,
me thought the voice of angels
from heav'n in answer rang;
Me thought the voice of angel
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
upon a lonely hill,
as the shadow of a cross arose
upon a lonely hill
CHORUS 2
Jerusalem! Jerusalem!
Hark how the Angels sing
Hosanna in the highest,
Hosanna to your King
SOLO 3
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 3
Jerusalem! Jerusalem!
Sing for the night is o'er.
Hosanna in the highest,
Hosanna for evermore
Hosanna in the highest,
Hosanna for evermore
