[Bm] [A]
[Bm] [A]
[D] One night while [A] I was sleeping I [G] had [A] a dream so [E] [D] fair
I stood [F#] in old [G]
Jerusalem [G#] beside the temple [Em]
there
[A] [D] I heard the children [A] singing [G] and [A] ever as [F#m] they [D] sang
[D#] I thought [D#m] the voice [A] of [C#] angels [F#m] from heaven [E] in answer [A] rang
I [E]
thought the voice of [C#] angels [Dm]
from [A] heaven in [E] answer
[A] rang
[D] [A] Jerusalem, [D] Jerusalem
[G] Hark [Bm]
[D] [A] [Am]
[F#m] in the howl [Bm] [D]
[A] [D]
[A] [G] of the street [A] no longer [D] as with the [F#] [G] glads
[G#] That the little [A] children sang
[D] The sun grew dark [A] with mystery [C#] and the morn was [E] cold and [D] chilled
As [D#m] the shadow of [A] a cross arose [Bm] upon [E] a [G#] lonely hill
[A] As [E] the shadow of [C#] a cross [Dm] arose [A] upon [Bm] a [A] lonely hill
[D]
[A] Jerusalem, [D] Jerusalem
[G] Lift up your gates [D] and
[A] [Am] in the [F#m] heart
[Bm] [D] [A] [D]
[F#] of Jerusalem
Once again my [D#m] dream was changed, [G#] newer there seemed [F#] to be
I [D#m] saw [D] the [F#] holy city beside [C#] the crystal sea
[D#m] The light of God was [A#m] on its streets [A] and the gates [E] they were open wide
That [Am]
all could [D] [G] enter [A] and no [D] one [D] was denied
[F#]
[Bm] No need [F#] of moon [F#m] or the [E] stars by [G#] night or [G] the sun to [A] shine [F#m] by day
[D#m] For it was the new [A]
Jerusalem [C#] that [B] would [E] not pass [A] away
[E] It was [Em]
[C#m] [F#m] the new [A] Jerusalem that would not pass away
[B] [D] Jerusalem,
[A] [D] Jerusalem
[G] Sing for the Lord
[B] [D] [A] [Am] [F#m] [D]
