[QUOTE="Peat, post: 778524, member: 42330"] The last two lines of each verse work in its place for Jerusalem. It builds to a very definite crescendo. Perhaps the grammar school boy in me is showing, but I've never been in a crowd singing it that doesn't know how to belt it out and I actually find it quite emotional. Ncurd - on 3 - surely any anthem will be caught somewhere, as either it mentions God and can't be used at civil weddings (that makes zero sense to me), or it doesn't and it's not a hymn and won't be usable in churches? I like that Jerusalem annoys both sides of that though. It uses Jesus, but does not praise him. I like that sort of contrariness. [/QUOTE]
