Bruce, some of us have already sung a hymn - from Hrothgar's official hymn book. ex-Catter Canberra Chris called me this morning & we sang Jerusalem! Well, he sang it, I'm very sniffley (hey, I have the famous Canberra cold, usually taken home from Canberra after singing too much in colder weather) & I haven't sung a note recently & Sydney is not cold (yet) He even had the traditional nip of whiskey (tho not Jamesons) & easter egg. Then he called another ex-catter Chris Maltby & they each sang a hymn, ChrisM sang the Norfolk Island hymn (not in the book!) & he was planning to call JennieG, as I am. I wonder where Hrothgr is ... Jerusalem Hymn And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England's mountain 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.
