Some favourites

This is one of my favorite songs sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir:



Here is my favourite hymn of all times. It reminds me of my mission (the England London Mission) because we used to sing it a lot:



When serving in Cambridge, one of my companions and I used to listen to Kenneth Cope a lot and so this song by him reminds me of my time there:



When in Norwich we used to listen to the hymn Jerusalem a lot. I love it!



Here are the words taken from Blake's poem:
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark Satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold:
Bring me my arrows of desire:
Bring me my spear: O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.
