I think it is wonderful hymn and I will look at your posts...thank you for telling me!<br />I have visited England since 1980... I am either in Georgia or England, I don't have the money or vacation time to go anywhere else!

I only learned about it recently, while researching a post about the real Jerusalem. I was very excited by the idea behind it, and by the music and words. <br />Let's compare notes.

I went immediately to this post first because of it's title. The hymn is my all time favorite. I learned it when I was in the church choir in grade 8. Our choir director was the incredible Prof. Gmeiner from Acadia University and learning that hymn with him is one of my best memories ever. <br />And, of course, you talked about Louis Zamperini to everyone! You have me talking about him ~ LOL!
