London Symphony Orchestra

The London Symphony Orchestra (LSO), founded in 1904, is the oldest of London's symphony orchestras. It was set up by a group of players who left Henry Wood's Queen's Hall Orchestra because of a new rule requiring players to give the orchestra their exclusive services. The LSO itself later introduced a similar rule for its members. The orchestra underwent periods of eclipse in the 1930s and 1950s when it was regarded as inferior in quality to new London orchestras, to which it lost players and bookings. By the 1960s it had recovered its leading position, which it has retained subsequently. more »

Last night i lay asleeping
There came a dream so fair,
I stood in old Jerusalem
Beside the temple there

I heard the children singing
And ever as they sang,
Methought Jerusalem, Jerusalem!
Hark! how the angels sing,
Hosanna in the highest,
Hosanna to your king!"

And once again the scene was chang'd
New earth there seem'd to be,
I saw the holy city
Beside the tideless sea

The light of god was on its streets
The gates were open wide,
And all who would might enter
And no one was denied.

No need of moon or stars by night,
Or sun to shine by day,
It was the new Jerusalem
That would not pass away

"Jerusalem! Jerusalem
Sing for the night is o'er
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna for evermore!"

    There are words missing in the second stanza. After the words," Me thought" the rest of the line is missing. It goes "the voice of angels from Heaven in answer rang." Then comes the chorus, "Jerusalem.....etc.
