Jerusalem, My Happy Home

This one was used by Ryan and RS’s parish recently. The text is mysteriously attributed to Augustine of Hippo and adapted by F.B.P (who?) then altered by Joseph Bromehead and set to this lovely American tune LAND OF REST.

It has frequently suggested as a funeral song on the internet. It bears a passing resemblance to “Amazing Grace”.

I thought it might go a bit faster than that but thought better of it.  I still made a backing though:

Handbells:

Solo Jazz Piano:

Organ:
