I Heard The Holy City

[Verse 1]
Last night as I was dream-ing
The church bells soft-ly rang
And once a-gain, sweet-heart,
I heard The song you oft-times sang

It was "The Ho-ly Cit-y"
It thrilled me through and through
The or-gan-ist was play-ing,
The choir was sing-ing too.

[Refrain]
"Je-ru-sa-lem, Je-ru-sa-lem," Rang so soft and low
My heart was glad For you were near, The same as long a-go,
It seemed that an-gel voic-es Sang from realms a-bove
I heard the "Ho-ly Cit-y," The song I'll al-ways love.

[Verse 2]
That mel-o-dy so sweet, dear,
En-thralled me as of yore
The hand of time seemed back-ward turned
For you and me once more,

The star of love was shin-ing,
So hap-py there we seemed,
But now my heart is pin-ing,
For it was just a dream

{Repeat Refrain]
