The Holy City
Lyricist:Shaker Traditional
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 Me thought the voice of angels From heaven in answer rang
Me thought the voice of angels From the 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

And once again the scene was changed New earth there seemed to be I saw the Holy City Beside the tide less 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 forevermore
Hosanna in the highest Hosanna forevermore
