Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[F]Las[G]t n[C]igh[G]t I[C] lay a- sleeping
[F]There [Dm]came a dre[G]am[C] so fair
I stood [G]in [C]old Jeru s[G]ale[C]m[F]
Be[Dm]side [G]the tem[C]ple there
I heard the children singing
And ever as they sang
Methought the voice of angels
From heav'n in answer ring
Methought the voice of [F]an [Dm]gels[G]
From heav'n in [C]answer ring

[Verse 2]
[C]Jerusalem, [G]Jeru[C]salem
Lift up your gates and sing
Hossanah in the highest

[Verse 3]
Hossanah to your King
[C]
And then methought my
dream was changed
The streets no longer rang
Hushed were the glad [F]hossa[Dm] nahs[G]
The [C]little [G]chi[C]ldren sang
The sun grew dark with mystery
The morn was cold and chill
As the shadow of the cross arose
Upon a [G]lonely [C]hill
As the [G]shadow [C]of the cross arose
Upon a lonely hill
[F]Jerusalem,

[Verse 4]
[C]Jerusalem
Hark how the angels sing
Hossanah in highest
Hossanah to your King

[Verse 5]
And [C]once again the
scene was [F]changed[G]
New earth [C]there seemed to be
I saw the holy city beside the tideless sea
The light of God was on the [G]streets[C]
The gates [G]are opened wide
[C]And [G]all [C]who would might enter
And no one was denied
No need of moon or stars [F]by [C]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

[Verse 6]
Jerusalem, [C]Jerusalem
Sing for the night is o'er
Hossanah in [F]the [Dm]highest
[G]Hossan[C]ah evermore
Hossa[G]nah in the highest
Hossanah evermore
