Holy City Songtext
von Harry Secombe

Last night i lay asleeing
There came a dream so fair
I stood in old Jerusalem
Besides the Temple there
I heard the Children singing
And ever as they sang
Me′ thot the voice of angels
From heaven answer rang
Me' thot the voiceeeee...
Of Angels from Heaven
In answer rang...

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


And then me thot′
My dream was changed
The streets no longer rang
Hushed were the glad hossannas
The little children sang
The song grew dark with mystery
The moon was cold and chill
As the shadow of the cross
Aross upon a lonley hill
As the shadow of...
The cross arose
Upon a lonley hill

CHROUS
Jerusalem Jerusalem
Hark all the angels sing
Hossanna in the highest
Hossanna to your king


And once again
The sea was changed
New earth there seem to be
I saw the holy city
Beside the tideless sea
The lamp of God
was on its streets
The gates were 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
Jerusalem that would
Not pass away

Jerusalem Jerusalem
Sing for the night is o'er
Hossanna in the highest
Hossanna forevermore
Hossanna in the highest
Hossanna forever...
More.

Still in love
