Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the Holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
[Verse 2]
And did the countenance divine shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem built here, among those dark Satanic mills?
[Verse 3]
Bring me my bow of burning gold, bring me my arrows of desire
Bring me my spear, oh, clouds unfold, bring me my chariots of fire
[Verse 4]
I will not cease from metal fight, nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem in England's green and pleasant land
Written by: Sir Charles Hubert Parry, William Blake
