'Jerusalem' a great hit with Rugby and Cricket fans!

Sung at international matches.

Many want it to become the English National Anthem.

The debate continues!!

It is always played at the Albert Hall on the last night of the proms.

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?

 

And did the Countenance Divine

Shine forth upon our clouded hills?

And was Jerusalem builded here

Among those dark Satanic mills?

 

Bring me my bow of burning gold!

Bring me my arrows of desire!

Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!

Bring me my chariot of fire!

 

I will not cease from mental fight

Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand

Till we have built Jerusalem

In England's green and pleasant land

 

Music: C. Hubert H. Parry in 1916
