C G7
Last night I lay a'sleeping
F G7 C
There came a dream so fair
F
I stood in old Jerusalem
D7 G7
Beside the temple there
C G7
I heard the children singing
C
And ever as they sang
C#dim G
Methought the voice of angels
D7 G D7
From heav'n in answer rang
G D7 G Em
Methought the voice of angels
Begin triplets
Am G D D7 G G7 Em
From heav'n in answer rang.
[...]
G7 C G G7 C
Je-rusalem, Je-rusalem
F C
Lift up your gates and sing
G Em Am
Hosanna in the highest!
Dm C G7 C
Ho-sanna to your king.

C G7
And then methought my dream was changed;
F G7 C
The streets no longer rang.
F
Hushed were the glad hosannas.
D7 G7
The little children sang.
C G7
The sun grew dark with mystery.
F G7 C
The morn was cold and chill
C#dim G
As the shadow of a cross arose
D7 G D7
Upon a lonely hill—
G D7 G Em
As the shadow of a cross arose
Begin triplets
Am G D D7 G G7 Em
U- pon a lonely hill.
[...]
G7 C G G7 C
Je-rusalem, Je-rusalem,
F C
Hark how the angels sing.
G Em Am
Hosanna in the highest!
End triplets
Dm C G7 C C/E C/E C/E
Ho-sanna to your king.
[...]
E F#m7
And once again the scene was changed;
A Am E
New earth there seemed to be.
C#m C7 E
I saw the holy city
B7 E
Beside the tideless sea.
C#m Abm
The light of God was on its streets.
G
The gates were open wide.
G7 C F
And all who would might enter,
C G7 C E
And no one was denied.
Am E7 Am
No need of moon or stars by night,
F G7 C G7
Or sun to shine by day,
C7 G
It was the new Jerusalem
D7 G D7
That would not pass away.
G D7 G Em
It was the new Jerusalem
(Begin triplets)
Am G D7 G G7 Em
That would not pass away.
[...]
G7 C G G7 C
Je-rusalem, Je-rusalem,
F C
Sing for the night is o'er.
F G7 Em Am
Hosanna in the highest!
F C G7 C G7
Ho-sanna forevermore.
[...]
C G7 C F
Hosanna in the highest!
(Rallentando a tempo four triplets
and concerto end)
C G7 C
Hosanna forevermore.
