last night I lay asleeping 

There came a dream so fair 

I stood in old Jerusales 

Beside the temple there 

I heard the children singing 

And ever as they sang 

Methought the voice of angels 

From heav'n in answer ring 

Methought the voice of angels 

From heav'n in answer ring 



Jerusalem, Jerusalem 

Lift up your gates and sing 

Hossanah in the highest 

Hossanah to your King 



And then methought my dream was changed 

The streets no longer rang 

Hushed were the glad hossanahs 

The little children sang 

The sun grew dark with mystery 

The morn was cold and chill 

As the shadow of the cross arose 

Upon a lonely hill 

As the shadow of the cross arose 

Upon a lonely hill 



Jerusalem, Jerusalem 

Hark how the angels sing 

Hossanah in highest 

Hossanah to your King 



And once again the scene was changed 

New earth there seemed to be 

I saw the holy city beside the tideless sea 

The light of God was on the streets 

The gates are opened 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 

It was the new Jerusalem 

That would not pass away 



Jerusalem, Jerusalem 

Sing for the night is o'er 

Hossanah in the highest 

Hossanah evermore 

Hossanah in the highest 

Hossanah evermore
