聖城
基督教、伊斯蘭教、佛教並稱為世界三大宗教[1]。此三種宗教之所以能成為前三大,是目前世界上僅有的三個各自被一部分國家列為國教的宗教,如基督教在歐美的一些國家、伊斯蘭教在中亞和西亞一些國家、佛教在東南亞一些國家分別被列為國教[2]。

歌詞
1.Last night I lay a-sleeping,There came a dream so fair, 昨夜我在睡夢中,有美夢真甜蜜; I stood in old Jerusalem,Beside the temple there. 我站在舊耶路撒冷,在聖殿的那邊; I heard the children singing,And ever as they sang, 我聽見孩童的歌聲,直迴響在耳邊; Me thought the voice of angels,From heaven in answer rang. 有如天使的歌聲,自天和諧響應。 Jerusalem! Jerusalem!Lift up your gates and sing, 耶路撒冷,耶路撒冷,眾城門齊歌頌, Hosanna in the highest!Hosanna to your King! 和散那歸於上主,和散那歸君王!
2.And then me thought my dream was changed,The streets no longer rang, 隨後夢境又轉變,不再有街道聲, Hushed were the glad Hosannas,The little children sang. 我不再聽見孩童們歡唱着和散那; The sun grew dark with mystery,The morn was cold and chill, 日頭忽然變成黑暗,清晨寒冷無比; As the shadow of a cross arose,Upon a lonely hill. 十字架的陰影顯現,在寂寞山那邊。 Jerusalem! Jerusalem!Hark! How the angels sing, 耶路撒冷,耶路撒冷,請聽天使歌頌, Hosanna in the highest!Hosanna to your King! 和散那歸於上主,和散那歸君王!
3.And once again the scene was changed;New earth there seemed to be; 又再一次情景轉變,有新天地出現! I saw the Holy City,Beside the tideless sea; 我看見天上聖城,在平靜的海邊; The light of God was on its streets,The gates were open wide, 上帝的光普照街市,城門大開廣闊, And all who would might enter,And no one was denied. 願意的人都可來,不要拒絕前往。 No need of moon or stars by night,Or sun to shine by day; 夜間無須月亮星辰,白晝無須日光; It was the new Jerusalem,That would not pass away. 那就是新耶路撒冷,永遠堅固長存;
Jerusalem! Jerusalem!Sing for the night is o'er! 耶路撒冷,耶路撒冷,夜盡了齊歌唱。 Hosanna in the highest!Hosanna for evermore! 和散那歸於上主,和散那直到永遠! Hosanna in the highest!Hosanna for evermore! 和散那歸於上主,和散那直到永遠!
