Letra de The Holy City

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 Methought the voice of Angels From Heaven in answer rang Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Lift up you gates and sing Hosanna in the highest Hosanna to your King! And then methought my dream was chang'd The streets no longer rang Hush'd 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 Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Hark! How the Angels sing Hosanna in the highest Hosanna to your King! And once again the scene was chang'd New earth there seem'd 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 Jerusalem! Jerusalem Sing for the night is o'er Hosanna in the highest Hosanna for evermore!
