Charlotte Church - The Holy City Lyrics
Last night I lay asleepingThere came a dream so fair,I stood in old jerusalemBeside the temple thereI heard the children singingAnd ever as they sang,Methought the voice of angelsFrom heaven in answer rangJerusalem, jerusalem!Lift up you gates and sing,Hosanna in the highest.Hosanna to your king!And then methought my dream was changdThe streets no longer rangHushd were the glad hosannasThe little children sangThe sun grew dark with mystery,The morn was cold and chillAs the shadow of a cross aroseUpon a lonely hillJerusalem, jerusalem!Hark! how the angels sing,Hosanna in the highest,Hosanna to your king!And once again the scene was changdNew earth there seemd to be,I saw the holy cityBeside the tideless seaThe light of God was on its streetsThe gates were open wide,And all who would might enterAnd no one was denied.No need of moon or stars by night,Or sun to shine by day,It was the new jerusalemThat would not pass awayJerusalem! jerusalemSing for the night is oerHosanna in the highestHosanna for evermore!
