Last night I lay asleeping There came a dream so fair I stood in old Jerusales Beside the temple there I heard the children singing And ever as they sang Methought the voice of angels From heav'n in answer ring Methought the voice of angels From heav'n in answer ring
Jerusalem, Jerusalem Lift up your gates and sing Hossanah in the highest Hossanah to your King
And then me thought my dream was changed The streets no longer rang Hushed were the glad hossanahs The little children sang The sun grew dark with mystery The morn was cold and chill As the shadow of the cross arose Upon a lonely hill As the shadow of the cross arose Upon a lonely hill
Jerusalem, Jerusalem Hark how the angels sing Hossanah in highest Hossanah to your King
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 the streets The gates are 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
Jerusalem, Jerusalem Sing for the night is o'er Hossanah in the highest Hossanah evermore Hossanah in the highest Hossanah evermore
