The Holy City

[Verse 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
Methought the voice of angels
From heaven in answer ring
Methought the voice of angels
From heaven in answer ring

[Chorus]
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Lift up your gates and sing
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna to your King

[Verse 2]
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 forevermore

[Outro]
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna forevermore!
