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 heaven answer rang
Me thought the voice of angels From heaven answer rang
CHORUS
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Lift up your gates and sing Hosanna in the highest Hosanna to your King
And then me thought my dream was changed The streets no longer rang Hush were the glad Hosannas The little children sang
The sky grew dark with mystery The morn was cold and chilled As the shadow of a stake arose Upon a lonely Hill
(CHORUS)
And once again the scene was changed New earth there seemed to be I saw the Holy City beside the tideless sea The light of God was on its street The gates were opened wide 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 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 forever more Hosanna in the Highest Hosanna forever more
