The chains of the old fall away
The pattern of d**h and decay
Is overcome is overcome
The chains of the old fall away
From far in the distance shining bright
We see a radiant golden light
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
From far in the distance shining bright
The tombs of the old are laid bare
Futility sin and despair
Are overcome are overcome
The tombs of the old are laid bare
So come children arise
Let your voices in the sky
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Come children arise
Strength purpose love and unity
Born in the service of God
Faith power praise and beauty
Joined in the worship of God
The saints shall inherit the earth
The saints shall inherit the earth
So come children arise
Let your voices in the sky
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Come children arise
Strength purpose love and unity
Born in the service of God
Faith power praise and beauty
Joined in the worship of God
The saints shall inherit the earth
The saints shall inherit the earth
Strength purpose love and unity
Born in the service of God
Faith power praise and beauty
Joined in the worship of God
The saints shall inherit the earth
The saints shall inherit the earth
Jerusalem, come children arise
