I heard it on Charlotte Church's first album "Voice of an Angel" but can't quite make out the words. It is credited to Gustav Holst. Any background would be great too. Thanks in advance! Bethel |

You can hear the hymn at the Cyber Hymnal, and you can hear Holst's Planets, Jupiter at The Classical Midi Connection. (You have to fast forward about 3 1/2 minutes to get to the familiar part.) |

LTS - as seen on T.V..... shortly! |
