The Holy City Lyrics - Singles - Michael Crawford

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 

I thought the voice of Angels from Heaven in answer rang 

I thought the voice of Angels from Heaven in answer rang 

Jerusalem, Jerusalem 

Lift up your gates and sing 

Hosanna in the highest 

Hosanna to your King 

And then I 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. 

Jerusalem! Jerusalem! 

Hark! How the angels sing, 

Hosanna in the highest! 

Hosanna 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 its streets, the gates were open wide 

And all who would might enter there 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
