The Holy CityThe Holy City

Last night I lay asleepingThere came a dream so fair,

Last night I lay asleepingThere came a dream so fair,

I stood in old JerusalemBeside the temple thereI stood in old JerusalemBeside the temple there

I heard the children singingAnd ever as they sang,

I heard the children singingAnd ever as they sang,

Methought the voice of AngelsFrom Heaven in answer rang

Methought the voice of AngelsFrom Heaven in answer rang

Jerusalem, Jerusalem!Lift up you gates and

sing,Hosanna in the highest.Hosanna to your King!

Jerusalem, Jerusalem!Lift up you gates and

sing,Hosanna in the highest.Hosanna to your King!

Jerusalem, Jerusalem!

Lift up your gates and sing,Hosanna in the

highest.Hosanna to your

King!

And then methought my dream was chang'dThe streets no longer rang

And then methought my dream was chang'dThe streets no longer rang

Hush'd were

asThe

little children

sang

The sun grew dark with mystery,The morn was cold and chill

The sun grew dark with mystery,The morn was cold and chill

As the shadow of a cross aroseUpon a lonely hill

As the shadow of a cross aroseUpon a lonely hill

Jerusalem, Jerusalem!Hark! How the Angels

sing,Hosanna in the highest,

Hosanna to your King!

Jerusalem, Jerusalem!Hark! How the Angels

sing,Hosanna in the highest,

Hosanna to your King!

And once again the scene was chang'dNew earth there seem'd to be,

And once again the scene was chang'dNew earth there seem'd to be,

I saw the Holy CityBeside the tideless seaI saw the Holy CityBeside the tideless sea

The light of God was on its streetsThe gates were open wide,

The light of God was on its streetsThe gates were open wide,

And all who would might enterAnd no one was denied.

And all who would might enterAnd no one was denied.

And all who would might enter

And no one was denied.

No need of moon or stars by night,Or sun to shine by day,It was the new JerusalemThat would not pass away

No need of moon or stars by night,Or sun to shine by day,It was the new JerusalemThat would not pass away
