The choir is now singing, Jerusalem. (think that is the correct title)

Slightly surprised Reagan requested Jerusalem, that's a very English hymn.

They just showed a picture of the Clinton's

Why are they bobbing their heads to the music?

JERUSALEM

And did those feet in ancient time

Walk upon England's mountain green?

And was the holy Lamb of God

On England's pleasant pastures seen?

And did the countenance divine

Shine forth upon our clouded hills?

And was Jerusalem builded here

Among those dark satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold!

Bring me my arrows of desire!

Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!

Bring me my chariot of fire!

I will not cease from mental fight,

Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,

Till we have built Jerusalem

In England's green and pleasant land.

The tune is Jerusalem, but the words are different. The words to Jerusalem are about the legend that Christ was brought to England when He was a boy, not really suitable for an American funeral.
