Stephen Adams/The Holy City

Stephen Adams-Weatherly/The Holy City     "거룩한 성"은 작곡자가  예루살렘의 꿈을 꾸고  내용을 세 파트로 나눠 회상합니다. 첫번째 ....예수님께서 사역하시던 예루살렘에서 호산나 찬미하던 그 당시의 상황을 그립니다. 두번째... 해가 힘을 잃은 어두워진 거리에서 참담함 관경이 벌어집니다. 십자가에 달리신 예수님. 세번째... 이모든 시간은 다 지나가고 유리바다가 보이고 낮과 밤이 없는 영광 새 예루살렘이 보였습니다.

Stephen Adams(1844~1913) 본명 James Maybrick으로 영국에서 태어난 작곡가로 Stephen Adams라는 예명으로 작곡활동을 함 The Holy City - 거룩한 성 작곡: Stephen Adams 작사: Frederick E. Weatherly 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, Me thought the voice of angels From heaven in answer rang. Jerusalem! Jerusalem! Lift up your gates and sing, Hosanna in the highest! Hosanna to your King! And then me thought my dream was changed, The streets no longer rang, Hushed 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. Jerusalem! Jerusalem! Hark! How the angels sing, Hosanna in the highest! Hosanna to your King! And once again the scene was changed; New earth there seemed 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. Jerusalem! Jerusalem! Sing for the night is o'er! Hosanna in the highest! Hosanna for evermore!
