Jerusalem of Gold Lyrics

The olive tree that stands in silence
Upon the hills of time
To hear the voices of the city
As bells of evening chime
The shofar sounding from the sky
To call the world to pray
The shepherd poses in the valley
And peace is everywhere

Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Forever young, forever old
My heart will sing the songs of glory
Jerusalem
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Oh city with a heart of gold
My heart will sing the songs of glory
Jerusalem

And far away beyond the desert
A thousand suns will glow
We shall be going to the Jordan
By way of Jericho
My simple voice cannot declaim me
To eat the words I choose
Jerusalem, if I forget thee
May my right end its coming loose

Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Forever young, forever old
My heart will sing the songs of glory
Jerusalem

Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Oh city with a heart of gold
My heart will sing the songs of glory
Jerusalem
