Tune: Infant Praise
('Children of Jerusalem')
Luke 19 v.38-40
**********
Blessed be the King that comes in
The name of the LORD, no sin
Does He have, peace in heaven
Highest glory to the Son
Chorus
Children praised Jesus at His entry
Into Jerusalem, songs there be
Raising fine heir loud 'Hosannas'
Worship each on Him confers
Some of the Pharisees there
Did not in the praises share
Bid the Lord the praise silence
May they not rejoice from hence
Chorus
But Jesus did answer, say
Of these hold heir peace this day
The stones would straightway cry out
Praise be not muzzled, no doubt
Chorus

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in: Verses 7.7.7.7. Chorus 9.9.8.7. metre. I had not used this tune before in my repertoire! If one can work out the Chorus, one only needs to write it once. Then verses, as many as needed.

I don't mind Choruses in hymns. But I'm not always one for seemingly endless Chorus-type songs, that may be sung about 20 times. It's laziness I think, if same ones are sung 3 weeks in a row at church. Worship Group not bothering to learn anything new, nor even different well-known songs.
But some traditional folk complain that there are too many 'Alleluias' in some hymns!
Good one Orchi. Choruses are important in music as they emphasise the meanings and the music normally increases in loudness to add to that emphasis.

Thanks Gold. I mean songs that they call 'choruses' in some places. Some go on endlessly. I wonder if God goes back to bed, thinking 'Oh no, not you lot again!'
Hi Orchidee,
A wonderful write.
One should always praise and not be negative.
Keep writing ✍ and safe during these challenging times.

Thanks FB.
I am not a particular fan of choruses either .. whether it is because I am not keen on repetition is as yet unclear to me ..
I did find Andy's response particularly interesting though and learnt summat new today already ...

Thanks Neville. That's what I mean, I say, that's what I mean.....
Same (or same old) thing over and over, until you go nuts! There's no need for laziness. I mean, they got loads to choose from. They wouldn't have my songs. They were not where the church was "at", meaning they dunno what a hymn book looks like! Doh!
