1. 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 Heav'n in answer rang
Methought the voice of Angels
From Heav'n in answer rang

Chorus:
"Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Lift up your gates and sing
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna to your King

2. 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
As the shadow of a cross arose
Upon a lonely hill

Chorus:
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Hark! how the Angels sing
Hosanna in the Highest
Hosanna to your King

3. 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 street
The gates were open 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 the new Jerusalem
That would not pass away
It was the new Jerusalem
That would not pass away

Chorus:
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Sing for the night is o'er
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna for evermore
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna for evermore
