- Last night I lay a sleeping,
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 Heav'n in answer rang;
Methought the voice of angels
From Heav'n 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,
Hush'd 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,
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 chang'd,
New earth there seem'd 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,
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!
Hosanna in the highest,
Hosanna for evermore!"

Fidèle aux paroles de Frederick E. Weatherly, les neuf plaques reprennent tour à tour les vers du chant. Le rêveur prend ici les traits d'une femme (plaque 2). Frederick E. Weatherly se tenait près du Temple dans la veille ville de Jérusalem au moment de l'entrée du Christ dans la ville, la rêveuse en fait de même (plaque 3). Des voix d'anges chantent les louanges du Christ (plaque 4), avant que tout ne s'assombrisse le jour du sacrifice de Jésus Christ (plaque 5). Le Christ est crucifié (plaque 6) mais tout redevient clarté (plaque 7) car le Christ est ressuscité dans son royaume (plaque 8) et les louanges recouvrent la nouvelle Jérusalem, la ville sainte (plaque 9).
