The chains of the old fall away
The pattern of death 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
