charles hart (1920s tenor) - the holy city lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
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
methought the voice of angels
from heaven in answer rang
methought the voice of angels
from heaven in answer rang:
[chorus]
“jerusalem! jerusalem!
lift up your gates and sing
hosanna in the highest
hosanna to your king!”

[verse 2]
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 nor 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 forevermore!
hosanna in the highest
hosanna forevermore!”

- charles hart 1920s tenor lyrics
