This is an original song by Andrew Alder.
Its inclusion on Wikisophia gives non-exclusive reproduction rights which are hereby explicitly granted by the author.
It is used here mainly as an exercise, although I also hope that the output will be useful to others wanting to use the song.
Please note... the history does not necessarily give an accurate picture of the song's development, rather it's a history of me getting to know the notation!

Jerusalem How I long to gather you into my arms Bless'd city of God, the prophets you kill How you need my love Palms spread before the donkey's feet While yet in the temple of God The priests deal and haggle like thieves in the street What when they face their Lord? Jerusalem How I long to gather you into my arms Bless'd city of God, the prophets you kill How you need my love Mountains and fields yield riches untold While yet in the city's dark ways Old men and young children trade poison for gold What when they face their Lord? Australia How we long to gather you into our arms Bless'd nation of ours, the truth you deny How you need our love Australia How we long to gather you into our arms Bless'd nation of ours, the truth you deny How you need our love
