"The Holy city"
Keyboard

Last night as I lay 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 Heav'n in answer rang
Me thought the voice of angels from Heav'n in answer rang

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
Hushed were the glad hosannas the little children sang
The sun grew dark with mystery and the morn' was cold and chill
As the shadow of a cross arose upon a lonely hill
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 changed, new earth there seemed to be
And I saw the Holy city beside the tideless sea
The light of God was on its streets and 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
For 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
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna forevermore
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna forevermore

Praise Jesus, praise God
