Jerusalem, My Happy Home

Author: F. B. P. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 622 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, my happy home, When shall I with you be? When shall my sorrows have an end? Your joys when shall I see? 2 Your saints are crowned with glory great; They see God face to face; They triumph still, they still rejoice In that most holy place. 3 There David stands with harp in hand As master of the choir: Ten thousand times would we be blessed Who might this music hear. 4 Our Lady sings Magnificat With tune surpassing sweet; And all the virgins join the song While sitting at her feet. 5 There Magdalene has left her tears, And cheerfully does sing With blessed saints, whose harmony In ev'ry street does ring. 6 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, God grant that I may see Your endless joy, and of the same Partaker ever be!

Small Church Music

Description: The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid 1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano with organ versions. All recordings are in MP3 format. Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per month. The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse. Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) (see http://scm-audacity.weebly.com for more information) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo and pitch to suit their local needs. Copyright notice: Rev. Clyde McLennan, performer in this collection, has assigned his performer rights in this collection to Hymnary.org. Non-commercial use of these recordings is permitted.
