The Holy City - The Best Of Larry Ford Album Version

Last night as I lay 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 chang'd
 The streets no longer rang
 Hush'd 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 the lonely hill
 As the shadow of a cross arose
 Upon that lonely hill
 "Jerusalem, Jerusalem!
 Hark! How the Angels sing,
 Hosanna in the highest,
 Hosanna to your 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
 The 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,
 Nor 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!"
