The Holy City

The Holy City - Gracie Fields

Last night I lay a 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

We thought the voice of Angels

From Heaven in answer rang

We 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 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 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

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 for evermore

Hosanna in the highest

Hosanna for evermore
