Here's what I remember of "Jerusalem":
Last night as I lay dreaming
I dreamed a dream so fair
I stood in old Jerusalem
Beside the temple there
The light of God was on its streets
The gates were open wide
And all who would might enter there
And no one was denied
No need for sun to shine by day
Nor moon or stars by night
It was the new Jerusalem that would not pass away
It was the new Jerusalem that would not pass away
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Lift up your gates and sing
Hosanna in the highest, Hosanna to your king
And once again the scene was changed
New earth there seemed to be
I stood in old Jerusalem
Beside the tideless sea
The light of god was... AND HERE MY MEMORY FAILS ME
