Lyrics

[00:09.98] Last night I lay asleeping
[00:13.66] There came a dream so fair,
[00:17.50] I stood in old Jerusalem
[00:20.95] Beside the temple there
[00:24.89] I heard the children singing
[00:28.18] And ever as they sang,
[00:32.22] Methought the voice of Angels
[00:35.76] From Heaven in answer rang
[00:39.80] Methought the voice of Angels
[00:45.33] From Heaven in answer rang
[00:51.24] Jerusalem, Jerusalem!
[00:57.81] Lift up you gates and sing,
[01:02.63] Hosanna in the highest.
[01:08.13] Hosanna to your King!
[01:25.87] And then methought my dream was chang'd
[01:31.05] The streets no longer rang
[01:34.53] Hush'd were the glad Hosannas
[01:37.29] The little children sang
[01:40.88] The sun grew dark with mystery,
[01:44.15] The morn was cold and chill
[01:47.64] As the shadow of a cross arose
[01:50.98] Upon a lonely hill
[01:53.93] As the shadow of a cross arose
[01:59.84] Upon a lonely hill
[02:05.47] Jerusalem, Jerusalem!
[02:11.61] Hark! How the Angels sing,
[02:16.53] Hosanna in the highest,
[02:22.39] Hosanna to your King!
[02:41.49] And once again the scene was chang'd
[02:44.96] New earth there seem'd to be,
[02:47.80] I saw the Holy City
[02:50.73] Beside the tideless sea
[02:54.37] The light of god was on its streets
[02:57.55] The gates were open wide,
[03:00.81] And all who would might enter
[03:06.12] And no one was denied.
[03:12.41] No need of moon or stars by night,
[03:18.50] Or sun to shine by day,
[03:24.06] It was the new Jerusalem
[03:29.98] That would not pass away
[03:35.22] It was the new Jerusalem
[03:41.14] That would not pass away
[03:46.99] Jerusalem! Jerusalem
[03:53.26] Sing for the night is o'er
[03:58.13] Hosanna in the highest
[04:04.07] Hosanna for evermore!
[04:09.49] Hosanna in the highest
[04:17.04] Hosanna for evermore!
