High upon a Mountain
Stood a man with his head bowed low
Tears streaming down his face
just like his heart was broke
Looking o'er that city
with all it's shining lights
His voice you could hear
so loud and so clear
Out in the still dark night

Jerusalem Jerusalem How often would I
have gathered you underneath my wings
like a mother hen would gather her young
but you would not hear my cry
No you would not hear my cry

High up in the heavens
Sitting on His throne
making intercession
for His chosen ones
But still they will not listen
just like they did back then
He cries O Jerusalem
these tears I shed in vain

Jerusalem Jerusalem How often would I
have gathered you underneath my wings
like a mother hen would gather her young
but you would not hear my cry
No you would not hear my cry

Does anyone know the 3rd verse? I only ever heard the Christian Troubadours sing this.

Like a mother hen would gather her chicks is how I've always heard this. And thank you. I could not remember the words to this song for anything.

I just found this. I know the original post has been several years ago, but maybe someone else is also looking for this.

Jerusalem
Writer: Evert Sanders Publishing: Samar Music/Kevin Spencer Publishing/BMI Key: F Time: 4:24
Verse 1
High upon a mountaintop, Jesus stood with His head bowed low
Tears streaming down His face, like his heart was broke
Looking ore' that city, with all its shining lights
These words you could hear so loud and clear, out in the still dark night
Chorus
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
How often would I gather you, underneath my wings Like a mother hen would gather her chicks
But you would not hear my cry
No, you would not hear my cry
Chorus
Verse 2
High up in the heavens, sitting on His throne Making intercession for His chosen ones
Still they will not listen, just like they did back when He cried unto Jerusalem; His tears are still in vain
Chorus
Verse 3
When Jesus comes to claim His own those converted here below Those sinners covered by His blood from which His side did flow We'll gather with His chosen ones to greet our coming King
I can see Jesus in the clouds, Church, it's time to go
Chorus 2
Jerusalem, New Jerusalem
My children it is I
I've come to gather you under my wings The groom has found His bride
I've been waiting for so long to hear
My Father say it's time
To gather all His children home
To live with us on high
To gather all His children home
To live with us on high

We just sang high upon a mountain, stood a man, his head bowed low, then: just like his heart was broke, then: but you would not hear me cry. The rest was as above.

My grandmother and aunt have sang this for YEARS and Holy Spirit gave my aunt these words for another verse. I pray it ministers to you.

"They tore the 10 commandments down, I heard it on the news
Now they're demanding same sex marriage and a woman's right to choose
BUT GODS STILL GOD and He won't be bound by any veil or wall
And if they insist we separate this nations bound to fall!

America, America how often would I......" And so on with the chorus
