Jerusalem, My Happy Home

I wanted to start throwing some demos up of songs I’ve written or arranged. This is a hymn text that I arranged a bit. The tune is basically the same except for a new melody for a repeated chorus, and then of course the chords are entirely different than the original. It is unclear who the original author of the text is, claims ranging from James Montgomery to St. Augustine. But the text is an excellent ode to the promised land. The text is very reminiscent of “On Jordan’s Stormy Banks.” Enjoy!
