I couldn't find the song in the sources I have, Nancy. I'll keep looking. While I'm thinking of it, I swear that years ago, I heard a recording of Paul Robeson singing "The Holy City." The chorus goes something like this:
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Hear how the angels sing Hosanna in the highest Hosanna to our King!
This was an absolutely fantastic rendition of the song, and I've been looking for it ever since. Anybody know if Robeson ever recorded this song? -Joe Offer-
