Lyrics:Stephen Adams Music:Stephen Adams | |
(Orch. George L. Zalva) | |
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, | |
Methought the voice of Angels | |
From Heaven in answer rang | |
'Jerusalem, Jerusalem! | |
Lift up you gates and sing, | |
Hosanna in the highest. | |
Hosanna to your King!' | |
And then methought my dream was chang'd | |
The streets no longer rang | |
Hush'd were the glad Hosannas | |
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 | |
'Jerusalem, Jerusalem! | |
Hark! How the Angels sing, | |
Hosanna in the highest, | |
Hosanna to your King!' | |
And once again the scene was chang'd | |
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 | |
'Jerusalem! Jerusalem | |
Sing for the night is o'er | |
Hosanna in the highest | |
Hosanna for evermore!' |
