His face, his eyes, his voice. He looks like he is singing of something he has seen. Such a rendition can only be achieved when one has truly experienced the messiah and hopes for the glory to come and the resurrection morn!! Hallelujah

I used to sing this every Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday. I always cried after singing it and it took all my might not to cry for the second verse. Thank you Jesus for dying for me. I love you with all my heart, mind and soul.

I first heard this song in church when I was between 4-6 years old--I was riveted, it took my breath away! The singer was an older man with a deep bass voice, and I always wanted to be in church in case he sang it again. I'm 69 now and I love this song as much as I did the first time I heard it! :)

In my later years I have become immobile, when I hear this song I close my eye s and picture myself. In the most beautiful Cathedral

As a child, I heard my small church choir sing this, I fell in love with it then and soon followed the Lord into repentance and baptism. I am now 79 years old and looking very forward to that New Jerusalem soon to appear.

It is inconceivable to think there would be even one person in this whole world who would give this sound a thumbs down.

His beautiful voice is astounding! When that is combined with the tear in his eye and his facial expressions telling stories all together it was impeccable.

This song came to me last night and needed to find it. Hosanna to his name! Jerusalem!

My ex-Wife would sing this Hymn in Church and during a College Concert. She would get a standing ovation at both venues. She was a Mezzo Soprano.

I miss the days of hearing this at Easter the good old days at church

This songs draws us closer to heaven where we can hear the angelic voices.

one the most wonderful songs sung to perfection by Stanford Olson and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. In todays world we all need more of this! THANK YOU

Btw… my favorite piece sang by this choir is Alleluia

I closed my eyes and it felt like I was in heaven

A song I used to sing in my church in WV. Brings back memories as my son was playing the organ. And ask me to do the solo He was playing for church. I liked the part the doors were open wide and no one was denied.

I sang this as a boy soprano when in the Chalk Church choir. I sang it with sisters Margaret and Mary accompanied by Les on the organ. The song has stayed with me as my favourite throughout my life - I'm 73 now and listen to it frequently to give me a huge uplift - especially over the last two years.

Well if this dont give you goose bumps then nothing will

Beautiful song. Blessed assurance of what God has for those who put their faith in Christ.

so beautiful i wish I could sing with this choir one time too. I was in Utah and had the opportunity to see the Mormon Temple where they sing all these nice songs. Thanks to God that I have ears,eyes,legs,arms to see hear and go there to see these beautiful things our Lord gives us. Thanks God in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

It was lovely to see someone sing without arm waving and drama - just to stand there and sing. Wonderful

Last night I lay asleeping 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 I thought the voice of Angels From Heaven in answer rang "Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Lift up you gates and sing Hosanna in the highest Hosanna to your King!" And then I thought 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 "Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Lift up you gates and 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 "Jerusalem! Jerusalem Sing for the night is o'er Hosanna in the highest Hosanna for evermore

always brings tears to my eyes

My uncle, Lester Dunn, was Dean of the School of Fine Arts at Southern Nazarene University in Bethany, Oklahoma, and he sang this for an Easter Sunday service. I remember sitting beside my Grandma Middleton, and she kept wiping tears from her eyes. Her daughter, my precious aunt Margaret, an accomplished pianist and also on the faculty, accompanied Uncle Lester. I was born in 1941, grew up on the family farm in Kansas, and we usually drove down to Oklahoma for Christmas and other holidays. These are treasured memories and it's always a joy to hear this song.

Can I like this a million times? I love the way it was sang, it feels like he was delivering a sublime message... I can picture the message of the lyrics in my head as he sang it. I love music when it edifies.

I remember learning to play this on a 150 year pipe organ, took me about 6 months but pulled it off. Love this song!!!

This song acknowledges the Mighty God of Israel, and the Holy Ghost bears witness unto our hearts that it is true! It doesn't matter where you are from or what language you speak, It goes directly to your heart. May the Mighty God of Israel bless you all who listen to this beautiful song!

From South Africa What a magnificent voice. Holy city always gives me goosebumps this time of the year. I was a soprano soloist in the choir and the Holy City moved me to the Nth degree

I am much closer to heaven when I watch 'The Holy City'.

Absolutely awesome, what a performance.
