Song Text

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green
And was the holy lamb of G’d
On England's pleasant pastures seen


And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark Satanic mills


Bring me my bow of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
Bring me my spears o'clouds unfold
Bring me my chariot of fire


I will not cease from mental fight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
'Til we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land
