1
Last night I lay a-sleeping
2
There came a dream so fair,
3
I stood in old Jerusalem
4
Beside the temple there.
5
I heard the children singing,
6
And ever as they sang
7
Methought the voice of angels
8
From heaven in answer rang,
9
Methought the voice of angels
10
From heaven in answer rang.
11
Jerusalem! Jerusalem!
12
Lift up your gates and sing,
13
Hosanna in the highest!
14
Hosanna to your King!
15
And then methought my dream was changed,
16
The streets no longer rang.
17
Hushed were the glad Hosannas
18
The little children sang.
19
The sun grew dark with mystery,
20
The morn was cold and chill,
21
As the shadow of a cross arose
22
Upon a lonely hill,
23
As the shadow of a cross arose
24
Upon a lonely hill.
25
Jerusalem! Jerusalem!
26
Hark! How the angels sing,
27
Hosanna in the highest!
28
Hosanna to your King!
29
And once again the scene was changed,
30
New earth there seemed to be.
31
I saw the Holy City
32
Beside the tideless sea.
33
The light of God was on its streets,
34
The gates were open wide,
35
And all who would might enter,
36
And no one was denied.
37
No need of moon or stars by night,
38
Or sun to shine by day;
39
It was the new Jerusalem
40
That would not pass away,
41
It was the new Jerusalem
42
That would not pass away.
43
Jerusalem! Jerusalem!
44
Sing for the night is o'er!
45
Hosanna in the highest!
46
Hosanna forevermore!
