Last night I lay asleeping 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 Methought 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 methought my dream was chang'd The streets no longer rang Hushed 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 "Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Hark! How the Angels sing, Hosanna in the highest, Hosanna to your King!" And once again the scene was changed New earth there seemed 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 Or sun to shine by day 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!"
Muito perto está a volta do Senhor Jesus Cristo o Único Salvador E a vida eterna é esta: que conheçam a ti só por único Deus verdadeiro e a Jesus Cristo, a quem enviaste. João 17:3 De sorte que foram batizados os que de bom grado receberam a sua palavra; e, naquele dia, agregaram-se quase três mil almas. Atos 2:41 Olhai, vigiai e orai, porque não sabeis quando chegará o tempo. Marcos 13:33
Last night I lay asleeping
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
Methought 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 methought my dream was chang'd
The streets no longer rang
Hushed 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
"Jerusalem, Jerusalem!
Hark! How the Angels sing,
Hosanna in the highest,
Hosanna to your King!"
And once again the scene was changed
New earth there seemed 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
Or sun to shine by day
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!"
Is this song called "The Holy City" ? Why could I not find it in any of my six hymnals? Does it also have a different title in my hymnals?
Hey there! It’s probably not in hymnals because it’s not a choral piece.
It’s more of a Gospel song rather than a hymn.
Do you know where to get this transcription of the piece.

What key is this?
AB
A flat Baritone or Mezzo solo.
Not sure why they used accidentals instead of a new key sig for the C + Eb sections though....
