Meyfart, 1590-1642 Meter: 10.6.10.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 66 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, O city fair and high, Your tow'rs I yearn to see: My longing heart to you would gladly fly, It will not stay with me. Elijah's chariot take me Above the lower skies, To heaven's bliss awake me, Released from earthly ties. 2 O happy day, O yet far happier hour, When will you come at last, When by my gracious Father's love and pow'r I see that portal vast? From heaven's shining regions To greet me gladly come Your blessed angel legions To bid me welcome home. 3 The patriarchs' and prophets' noble train, With all Christ's foll'wers true, Who washed their robes and cleansed sin's guilty stain, Sing praises ever new! I see them shine forever, Resplendent as the sun, In light diminished never, Their glorious freedom won. 4 Unnumbered choirs before the shining throne Their joyful anthems raise Till heaven's arches echo with the tone Of that great hymn of praise. And all its host rejoices, And all its blessed throng Unite their myriad voices In one eternal song.

Jerusalem, thou city fair and high

Author: Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Chorale Book for England, The #195 (1863) Meter: 10.6.10.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: Jerusalem, thou city fair and high, Would God I were in thee! My longing heart fain, fain to thee would fly, It will not stay with me; Far over vale and mountain, Far over field and plain, It hastes to seek its Fountain And quit this world of pain. Oh happy day, and yet far happier hour, When wilt thou come at last? When fearless to my Father's love and power, Whose promise standeth fast, My soul I gladly render, For surely will His hand Lead her with guidance tender To heaven her fatherland. 221 A moment's space, and gently, wondrously, Released from earthly ties, The fiery car shall bear her up to thee Through all these lower skies, To yonder shining regions, While down to meet her come The blessed angel legions, And bid her welcome home. Oh Zoin, hail! Bright city, now unfold The gates of grace to me! How many a time I long'd for thee of old, Ere yet I was set free From yon dark life of sadness, Yon world of shadowy nought, And God had given the gladness, The heritage I sought. Oh what the tribe, or what the glorious host, Comes sweeping swiftly down? The chosen ones on earth who wrought the most, The Church's brightest crown, Our Lord hath sent to meet me, As in the far-off years Their words oft came to greet me In yonder land of tears. The Patriarchs' and Prophets' noble train, With all Christ's followers true, Who bore the cross, and could the worst disdain That tyrants dared to do, I see them shine for ever, All-glorious as the sun, 'Mid light that fadeth never, Their perfect freedom won. And when within that lovely Paradise At last I safely dwell, From out my blissful soul what songs shall rise, What joy my lips shall tell, While holy saints are singing Hosannas o'er and o'er, Pure Hallelujahs ringing Around me evermore. Innumerous choirs before the shining throne Their joyful anthems raise, Till Heaven's glad halls are echoing with the tone Of that great hymn of praise, And all its host rejoices, And all its blessed throng Unite their myriad voices In one eternal song!

In 1880 he published A Church of England Hymnbook Adapted to the Daily Services of the Church throughout the Year; and in 1882, a revised and much improved edition of the same as The Church of England Hymn Book, &c. A great many of Prebendary Thring's hymns are annotated under their respective first lines; the rest in common use include:— 1. Beneath the Church's hallowed shade. Consecration of a Burial Ground.

Michael Praetorius

1571 - 1621 Meter: 10.6.10.6.7.6.7.6 Composer of "JERUSALEM" in The Cyber Hymnal Born into a staunchly Lutheran family, Michael Praetorius (b. Creuzburg, Germany, February 15, 1571; d. Wolfenbüttel, Germany, February 15, 1621) was educated at the University of Frankfort-an-der-Oder. In 1595 he began a long association with Duke Heinrich Julius of Brunswick, when he was appoint­ed court organist and later music director and secretary. The duke resided in Wolfenbüttel, and Praetorius spent much of his time at the court there, eventually establishing his own residence in Wolfenbüttel as well. When the duke died, Praetorius officially retained his position, but he spent long periods of time engaged in various musical appointments in Dresden, Magdeburg, and Halle. Praetorius produced a prodigious amount of music and music theory. His church music consists of over one thousand titles, including the sixteen-volume Musae Sionae (1605-1612), which contains Lutheran hymns in settings ranging from two voices to multiple choirs. His Syntagma Musicum (1614-1619) is a veritable encyclopedia of music and includes valuable information about the musical instruments of his time. Bert Polman
