lyrics

CHORUS

Jerusalem - Jerusalem

If I forget thee, oh Jerusalem

(Repeat)

VERSE 1
How can we sing the Lord’s song in a strange land?

How can we sing the Lord’s song with shackles on our hands?

But Zion calls to us — the City of our G-d

Lift up your heads, oh ye gates

Ye everlasting doors - in...

CHORUS

VERSE 2

By the rivers of Babylon — there we wept and mourned

By the rivers of Babylon — there they asked us for a song

But Zion calls to us — the City of our King

Lift up your heads, oh ye gates

Zion let us sing — in…

CHORUS

Whoa - oh - oh

Whoa - oh - oh

VERSE 3 (choir)

From every nation, ev’ry tribe and tongue

All of creation will bless the Holy One

(We will gather in the City — with the tribes of Israel and the) —

Lion of Judah!

In all the world we’ll tell of —

CHORUS

Whoa - oh - oh

Whoa - oh - oh

VAMP 1

(Oh oh oh)

Yerushalayim

(Oh oh oh)

Yerushalayim

(Oh oh oh)

Yerushalayim — oh — oh

Marching to Zion

Marching to Zion

Beautiful Zion

Zion! Zion!
