    I saw the new Jerusalem,
    The holy city, richly clothed.
    From God in heaven she descends:
    A bride prepared for her betrothed.

    It's the entrance chant from the Missal, stretchified by me to fit Long Meter.

    Sing it to many things: Jesu Dulcis Memoria, Old Hundredth...

    Awesome.

    Why not sing a verse or two of Psalm 84 in between, or Psalm 121?

    I am planning on it. I was going to use Adams SEP for the entire Mass, but I will substitute your antiphon. If I remember, I will record it and send it to you. I have already realized the shape of the melody which is dictated by your imagery, but the notes will come on the wind.

    Kathy, thank you very much for this. How would you like to be credited in a leaflet, etc.?
