Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.

Jerusalem is my home
That I love so much
My wishes and hopes are for you
My eyes will see beautiful gates
And the street of gold
Of the City of Salvation MALAIKA (My Beautiful Angel)
I love you my angel
I want to marry you to be my wife
But I don't have any money to pay for lobola (dowry)
You're the only angel I think of
You bring happiness to my heart
If I marry you, I'll be the happiest man

John saw a city that could not be hidden

John saw the city, oh yes he did

John caught a glimpse of the golden throne

Tell me all about it, go right on

Around the throne he saw the crystal sea

There's got to be more, what will it be

I want to go, to that city he saw New Jerusalem

Jerusalem

I want to walk your streets that are golden

And I want to run where the angels have trod

Jerusalem

I want to rest on the banks of your river

In that city, the city of God

John saw the lion lay down by the lamb

I want to know everything about that land

John saw the day but he did not see night

The lamb of God well, he must be the light

And he saw the saints worship the great

I am Crying worthy, worthy is the lamb

I want to go to that city he saw New Jerusalem

Jerusalem, Jerusalem

Sing for the night is over

Hosanna in the highest

Hosanna forever

Forever more

Jerusalem

I want to walk your streets that are golden

And I want to run where the angels have trod

Jerusalem

I want to rest on the banks of your river

In that city, the city of God

The city of God

Jerusalem, Jerusalem

The city of God, is the city of God

Jerusalem - Hymn - William Blake (1808) - Parry (1916)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_did_those_feet_in_ancient_time
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountain green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.

The Holy City - Charlotte Church (2000)
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…

Zahrat al Meda'in
It is for you O city of the prayer that I pray
It is for you O splendid home, O flower of the cities
O Jerusalem O Jerusalem O Jerusalem O city of the prayer
Our eyes are set out to you everyday
They walk through the porticos of the temples
Embrace of the old churches
And take the sadness away from the mosques
O night of Al asra O path of those who left for the sky
Our eyes are set out to you everyday and I pray
The child is in the cave and his mother is Myriam two faces crying
For those who roamed
For the children without a house
For those who resisted and were martyred at the gates
And the peace was martyred in the homeland of the peace
And the law tumbled at the gates of the city
When Jerusalem city fell
Love left and in the heart of the world the war was settled
The child is in the cave and his mother is Myriam two faces crying
and I pray
The glaring anger is arriving and I am sure of it
The bright anger is arriving, I will command the grief
From everywhere, it will arrive riding the steeds of fear,
As if the overwhelming face of God it will arrive
The gates of our city will not be locked anymore so I am going to pray
I will knock the gates and I will liberate them
My face will be cleaned by the holy water of the Jordan river
And the effects of the barbarism of the past will be erased O Jordan River
The glaring anger is arriving riding the steeds of the fear
And will defeat whom is in power
This is our home and Jerusalem belongs to us
And in our hands we will celebrate the splendor of Jerusalem
by our hands the peace will return to Jerusalem

To Zion - Lauryn Hill
I touched my belly overwhelmed
By what I had been chosen to perform
But then an angel came one day
Told me to kneel down and pray
For unto me a man child would be born
Woe this crazy circumstance
I knew his life deserved a chance
But everybody told me to be smart
Look at your career they said
Lauryn, baby use your head
But instead I chose to use my heart
Now the joy of my world is in Zion
Now the joy of my world is in Zion
How beautiful if nothing more
Than to wait at Zion's door
I've never been in love like this before
Now let me pray to keep you from
The perils that will surely come
See life for you my prince has just begun
And I thank you for choosing me
To come through unto life to be
A beautiful reflection of his grace
For I…
