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 Heaven in answer rang] X2
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'd were the glad Hosanna
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] X2
Jerusalem! Jerusalem!
Hark how the Angels sing
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna to your King
And once again the scene was changed
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
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] X2
Jerusalem! Jerusalem!
Sing for the night is o`er
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna for evermore
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna Hosanna
