Lyrics Of The Holy City by Mahalia Jackson
Last night I lay a-sleepingThere came a dream so fairI stood in old JerusalemBeside the temple thereI heard the children singingAnd ever as they sangMethought the voice of angelsFrom heav’n in answer ringMethought the voice of angelsFrom heav’n in answer ring
Jerusalem, JerusalemLift up your gates and singHossanah in the highestHossanah to your King
And then methought my dream was changedThe streets no longer rangHushed were the glad hossanahsThe little children sangThe sun grew dark with mysteryThe morn was cold and chillAs the shadow of the cross aroseUpon a lonely hillAs the shadow of the cross aroseUpon a lonely hill
Jerusalem, JerusalemHark how the angels singHossanah in highestHossanah to your King
And once again the scene was changedNew earth there seemed to beI saw the holy city beside the tideless seaThe light of God was on the streetsThe gates are opened wideAnd all who would might enterAnd no one was deniedNo need of moon or stars by nightOr sun to shine by dayIt was the new JerusalemThat would not pass awayIt was the new JerusalemThat would not pass away
Jerusalem, JerusalemSing for the night is o’erHossanah in the highestHossanah evermoreHossanah in the highestHossanah evermore
