He also wrote anthems and had a work performed in London by this time. He teamed up with Frederic Weatherly to write a large number of songs. • Book of Revelation 3:12, Book of Revelation 21:1-8 • The lyrics to, The Holy City, are: • 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 • Me-thought 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 me-thought my dream was changed • 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 tide-less 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! • #praise • #worship • #hope
