Jerusalem has been voted the UK's favourite hymn in a survey held by BBC's Songs of Praise.
Members of the public chose from the 100 hymns that have featured most on the show over the past five years.
How Great Thou Art and In Christ Alone came in second and third.
Songs of Praise host Aled Jones made the announcement in a Songs of Praise special on Sunday which was filmed at De Montfort Hall in Leicester.
Jerusalem did not feature among the top 10 the last time the public voted in 2013.

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
