The Holy City

Mahalia Jackson

Composição de: Frederick Edward Weatherly/Stanley Adams
last night I lay asleeping 
There came a dream so fair 
I stood in old Jerusales 
Beside the temple there 
I heard the children singing 
And ever as they sang 
Methought the voice of angels 
From heav'n in answer ring 
Methought the voice of angels 
From heav'n in answer ring 

Jerusalem, Jerusalem 
Lift up your gates and sing 
Hossanah in the highest 
Hossanah to your King 

And then methought my dream was changed 
The streets no longer rang 
Hushed were the glad hossanahs 
The little children sang 
The sun grew dark with mystery 
The morn was cold and chill 
As the shadow of the cross arose 
Upon a lonely hill 
As the shadow of the cross arose 
Upon a lonely hill 

Jerusalem, Jerusalem 
Hark how the angels sing 
Hossanah in highest 
Hossanah to your King 

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 the streets 
The gates are opened 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 
Hossanah in the highest 
Hossanah evermore 
Hossanah in the highest 
Hossanah evermore
