Songs of Praise . . . with subtitles!

. . . . and . . . whilst looking for Not the Nine O’Clock News sketches (see last entry)I came across this again, which I think is brilliant:
You would never think they weren’t the real words would you?!
For those who are interested, the words the congregation are actually singing are something like this:
Bless-ed City, heavenly Salem,
vision dear of peace and love,
who or living stones art build-ed
in the height of heaven above,
and, with angel host encircled,
as a bride dost earthward move.
From celestial realms descending,
bridal glory round thee shed,
meet for him whose love espoused thee,
to thy Lord shalt thou be led;
all thy streets and all thy bulwarks
of pure gold are fashion-ed.
