The Holy City Lyrics
The Holy City - Josef Locke
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
Me thought the voice of angels from
Heaven in answer rang
Me thought the voice of angels from
Heaven 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 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
I saw the holy city beside the tideless sea
The light of god was on its streets
The gates were opened wide
And all who would might enter and no one was denied
No need of moon or stars by
Night nor sun to shine by day
It was a new jerusalem that would not pass away
It was a new jerusalem that would not pass away
Jerusalem Jerusalem
Sing for the night is o'er
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna for evermore
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna for evermore
