Throughout the Bible the holy city of Jerusalem served as a
symbol for the Lord’s people.
Abraham expressed his complete obedience to God by bringing
his only son to be sacrificed on Mount Moriah, that was later to be the site of
Jerusalem’s temple. In the Book of Revelation the heavenly Jerusalem is the
abode of the saved.
(I did my best, but I couldn't get this down evenly)
.
.
I heard the children singing and ever
as they sang, Methought the voice of Angels,
from Heaven in answer rang, Methought the
voice of Angels, from Heaven in answer rang
as they sang, Methought the voice of Angels,
from Heaven in answer rang, Methought the
voice of Angels, from Heaven in answer rang
Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Lift up my gates and sing ,
Hosanna in the highest. Hosanna to your King!
And then me thought my
dream was chang'd,
The streets no longer rang. Hush'd were the glad Hosannas the little children sang.
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 a lonely hill, As the shadow
of a cross arose, upon a lonely hill
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 chang'd, New earth there seem'd to be , I saw the Holy City rise beside a 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 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.
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!
