No room for Jerusalem in new hymn book
THE hymn Jerusalem has been left out of the final version of the new Church of Scotland hymn book because of its associations with English nationalism – despite an outcry against the move.
But, for the first time, Amazing Grace, What a Friend We Have in Jesus and Lord of the Dance will be included in the first new hymnary for more than 30 years.
There was a furious row in the summer when it was revealed that Jerusalem was set to be cut, but while the size of the book has been increased from 750 to more than 850 hymns, the words for Jerusalem – which includes a line about “England’s green and pleasant land” – have still been omitted. However, it has been decided to retain the tune for use with psalms 149 and 150.
There has been also controversy over the more Scottish style of the book and the decision to address modern-day concerns about sexist language in some verses. Other new hymns deal with child abuse, violence against women and environmental issues.

He made highlight reel play after Nike Air Griffey Max 1 highlight reel play that will continue to be watched by the next generation of fans. Not only that, but he survived the steroid era and proved that a player can be great without using illegal supplements Nike Air Max to do it. His 22 seasons, 630 career home runs, 11 Gold Gloves and 13 All-Star appearances are evidence enough for what kind of player Griffey was. His numbers spoke to the kind of athlete he was on Nike Air Max Shoes the field, but the way he went out last night spoke to the kind of person he was off the field. Instead of going Air Max Sneakers out complaining about his lack of playing time or making excuses for the kinds of numbers he was putting up this season, he told the media in a prepared statement that he didn’t want to be a distraction to his teammates.
