Holy City Lyrics - Singles - Charlotte Church

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 Heaven in answer rang 

Methought the voice of Angels, from Heaven in answer rang 

Jerusalem, Jerusalem 

Lift up my gates and sing 

Hosanna in the highest 

Hosanna to your King 

And then me thought my dream was chang'd, the streets no longer rang 

Hush'd were the glad Hosannas, my little children sang 

Their sun grew dark with mystery, my morn was cold and chill 

As the shadow of my cross arose, upon a lonely hill 

As the shadow of my cross arose, upon a lonely hill 

Jerusalem, Jerusalem 

Hark! How the Angels sing 

Hosanna in the highest 

Hosanna to our King 

And once again the scene was chang'd, new earth there seem'd to be 

I saw the Holy City beside the tideless sea 

My 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 for evermore 

Hosanna in the highest 

Hosanna for evermore
