[A]
[D] Last night I lay a -sleeping, [G] there came a dream [D] so fair.
I stood in [G] old Jerusalem, [E] beside the temple [A] there.
I [D] heard the children [F#m] singing, [G] and ever as they [D] sang,
[C] Methought the voice [A] of angels from [E] heaven [G#] in [A] answer rang.
[E] Methought the voice [A] of
[D] angels [A] from heaven in [E] answer
[A] rang.
[F#m]
[A] [D] [A] Jerusalem, [D] Jerusalem,
[G] lift up your gates and [D] sing.
[A] Hosanna in [F#m] the [Bm] highest, [G] [D] Hosanna to [A] [D] your King.
[G] [D] [F#] [Bm]
[G] [D] [A]
[F#m] [D]
And then Methought my dream was [G] changed, the streets no [D] longer rang.
Hushed were the glad [G] Hosannas, [E] the little children [C#m] [A] sang.
The [D] sun grew dark with mystery, the [G] morn was cold and [D] chill.
[F#]
As the shadow [A] of a cross rose [E] upon a lonely [A]
hill.

And once again the scene [G#m] was changed, [C#] new earth [G#] there seemed to [F#] be.
[D#m] I saw [D] the holy [F#] city [B] beside [C#] the tidal [F#]
sea.
The [D#m] light of God [A#m] was on its streets, [A] the gates were [E] open wide.
[A] And all who would [D] might enter, [G] [D] and no [A] one was [D]
denied.
[F#]
[Bm] No [F#] need of moon or [Bm] stars by night, or [D] sun [A] to shine [D] by day.
[Bm] [C] It was the new [A]
Jerusalem that [D] would [E] not pass [A] away.
It [E] was the [Bm] new [A] [C#]
