    This is the most uplifting version of one of the most uplifting songs of all time. I've heard the brilliant versions by Mahalia Jackson, Harry Secombe, Stanford Olsen and The Celtic Tenors - but this one tops them all. Our Dad was famous for raising the roofs of the pubs in Middlesbrough when he sang this - and other classics - at Christmas in the 60's, 70's and the 80's. He'd have loved this version. God Bless you Dad. Derek, Keith and Stephen. xxx

    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!"

  • @TheMimiSard
    @TheMimiSard 2 роки тому +1

    I always love that he does all three verses. Some renditions leave out the middle one, but when you consider the context of the song, it is a core concept. Besides, the "shadow of a cross arrose upon a lonely hill" has a good build and it is a good precursor to the third verse build which is even better.

    Revelation 2 and 3, The conclusions of the conscious process for causing Love to become whole and One in us, in our body, The Temple where God's Love does dwell through The Whole Spirit of Love anointed, namely Jesus Christ, who is coming quickly. Amen.🕊💖🕊
    LOVE
    is always positive +
    FAITH
    the assured expectation of good, the ultimate positive mindset
    DISCERNMENT
    Choosing good
    RIGHTEOUSNESS
    Positive, in accord with God's Love
    CONSCIOUSNESS
    Mindful, awareness of God, others and self.
    BROTHERLY LOVE
    Positive friendships with others
    COMMUNION
    Joining in the endorphin blood of Positive Love made whole and One in us, in our body, The Temple for God's Love to dwell for Healing all Nations and Heaven on Earth.
    UNION, for unity, Oneness with God's Love made whole and One in us, in our body, The Temple for God's Love to dwell through Jesus Christ for Heaven on Earth as promised for the Promised Land to come. Amen.
    I illustrate these in reverse order to match our chakras, endocrine glands in the image of 2 faces creating a cup, the cup of Love from positive relationships.
    The end is the beginning of The Word, endorphin
    #Loveisnotacortisol
    Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ
    Amen.
    God's #Loveisnotacortisol stress hormone, but an endorphin blood made whole and One in us, God, JHVH meaning He who causes to become Jesus Christ, Anointed with The Whole Spirit of Love, YHWH, I shall prove to be what I prove to be - Love, #Loveisnotacortisol
    New Jerusalem, The Heavenly City, Zion
    Parousia
    'Do not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and bad for you will positively die' 'surely die' Genesis 2:17.
    God does not want us to learn bad in any way, virtual or in reality because bad, haram, creates doubt, negative, faithless, doubtful, fearful, stressed, anxious, depressed, unstable mental health.
    Jesus Christ was born in a stable but
    I say Jesus Christ was born to stable, born to stabalise the hormones in our body for healing for All Nations and Heaven on Earth through His Love made whole and One in us, in our body, The Temple where God's Love can dwell, when we choose righteousness over sin. Sin is anti to Christ's Love made whole and One in us, Amen, Ameen, Shalom, Namaste, Twofold Peace, which means Jerusalem, to All for Heaven on Earth as promised for The Promised Land to come. Come, The gemstones of New Jerusalem reveal this healing consciousness for Love's Light to shine brightly in us, in our hearts for fullness of all the fruits of the spirit, namely
    LOVE which is always positive +
    JOY positive and very happy
    FAITH positive hope of Joy and Love in the future, the assured expectation of good
    GOODNESS righteous, moral, positive
    KINDNESS compassionate, understanding, positive
    MILDNESS gentle, positive
    With
    PATIENCE tolerance, long suffering, positive
    SELF CONTROL not to sin or abuse or hurt another, positive for
    PEACE within yourself via a quiet conscience with God for
    TWOFOLD PEACE, JERUSALEM for
    HEAVEN ON EARTH
    Always positive +
    Love is always positive creating endorphins, God's #Loveisnotacortisol
    Hallelujah
    Amen, Ameen, Shalom, Namaste, time to positively Love our global neighbours too and ' learn war no more.' Jesus Christ is coming quickly...

    Did the crowd really understand what he was actually singing? Apostle Peter prophesied that this earth would be melted through fire ... so that the New Heavens and Earth would be created by God for His people with Jerusalem as its center? There would be no sun, moon or stars already. The song is the end of the Book of the Book of Revelations! That angel in the song is not your typical cute angel... they represent the judgments of God against a wicked generation in the last days.
