I WAS GLAD WHEN THEY SAID UNTO MEnMusic: Sir Hubert Parry (1840-1918)nText from Psalm cxxii, 1-3, 6, 7nI was glad (Latin incipit "Laetatus Sum") is an introit commonly used in the Anglican church, and also used as an anthem traditionally sung at the coronation of English monarchs. Its most famous setting was written in 1902 by Sir Hubert Parry. Most of the content of the psalm is a prayer for the peace and prosperity of Jerusalem, and its use in the coronation service clearly draws a parallel between Jerusalem and the United Kingdom, as William Blake had in his poem Jerusalem (which Parry set to music later, in 1916). Settings for earlier coronations were composed by Henry Purcell and William Boyce, among others. Parry's version was written for the coronation of King Edward VII and revised in 1911 for that of King George V, when the familiar introduction was added.n
