About the Hymn
This English text by John Mason Neale (1818–1866) is a translation of the ancient Latin hymn “Urbs beata Jerusalem.” In this setting it is sung to Henry Purcell’s stately tune WESTMINSTER ABBEY (1659–1695), giving it a noble, processional character. The hymn celebrates Jesus Christ as the cornerstone of His Church. It is loved at ordinations, confirmations, and building dedications, where its strong lines affirm that the Lord Himself keeps and guides His people.
